Going Once, Going Twice... SOLD!*

This morning I got a phone call that Suzette's family had been planning to go camping today, but since the weather was yucky they decided to come help me pack and clean up the garage.  What a miracle!  With the 5 of them, my mom, and my girls, we got the garage looking incredible in just a couple very busy hours.  Then Grandma celebrated by getting us lunch which we brought back and ate picnic-style in the garage.  Who can EAT on their garage floor?!  I felt almost guilty parking the car in there later today.




Then this afternoon we attended the closing on our new home.  With all the usual hubbub just prior to closing it felt like another miracle that it went so smoothly.  They served us fresh cookies, cold water / soda, and we sat in a very fancy room to sign our names roughly 1,083,294 times.  Everything was exactly as we expected with no nasty surprises.




And ta-da!!!  We came home with a big packet of paperwork.  We don't get the keys to our new home until 48 hours after funding.  There is a possibility that funding will occur tomorrow, but it may not be until Monday.  So at least by Wednesday we should get the keys and get to make our first official Trip Home.


*This title reflects artistic license as no auctions took place in the purchase of the home.  ;)
