Hello blog-o-verse! As you can probably already tell, I'm in a good mood today. First of all, we closed on the house last night and are now officially homeowners! Second, I will be going over to the house today with my mom and grandma to get cleaning done so we are ready to move this weekend - I'm excited to get to work on the house! Third, I am not going to my seminar night class tonight (I'm using my one unexcused absence... don't judge me!) which means I won't have to sit through the boring class and I get to go back to the house with Aaron to get stuff done! Fourth, I saw two adorable dogs on my way into the law school this morning! (Yes, it is that easy to make me happy - they were awesome!) Anyway, I figured today was a good day for an update!
As I already mentioned, we closed on the house yesterday! We had a walk-through first but that was really quick. We had some time to kill so we stopped at Sheetz (I got an Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte) before going to the realtor's office. The lady running the closing was from Secured Land Transfers; she was ready for us so we got started. Everyone else trickled in: our realtor, the mortgage lady, the sellers' agents (there was two because I think one was still in training), and the sellers' lawyer (who was fashionably late). When all was said and done, everything was signed and we had our keys by 4:35pm!
We went back to the house to unload the clothes we packed in the morning. We brought over all the clothes that hangs in the closet. I prefer to move clothes by leaving them on their hangers and just lying them on a seat or in the truck. We got all that clothes into the new bedroom closet and left the house so we could get back to the dogs. We were planning to head to my parents' house so we could get another coat of primer on the furniture, go to Sam's Club for the bed frame, and get my dad's painting supplies.
When we got to my parents' house, we had enough time before my dad would get home to get the priming done. Aaron worked on the dresser and I did the chest of drawers. We just finished cleaning our brushes and getting changed when my dad got home. We all went to Mid-Town for some dinner. (If you don't know Mid-Town, they have the best sub rolls! So, of course, I got a sub - turkey, to be exact!) After Mid-Town, we headed to Sam's Club to get the bed frame. Then we went to Home Depot for a variety of supplies: paint for the bedrooms, paint brushes, caulk gun, mop bucket, broom, rake, etc.
After Home Depot, we headed back to my parents' house and packed everything into my car. We grabbed the puppies and headed back to the apartment. If you're paying close attention, you may have noticed that I said we were going to get my dad's painting supplies and that I didn't mention actually getting them... That's because we forgot all about them! Oops! (No worries, my mom is going to bring them with her today!)
Anyway, so that was yesterday! Today we are going to try to get lots of cleaning done and stuff put away. My mom and grandma are coming to help for a bit, then I'll go back to the apartment for dinner. Aaron and I will come back after dinner with another load of stuff... I'm sure you'll hear more about all that tomorrow! ;o)
