We Own a House!!!!!!!!
It feels sooo good to be able to say that!! We have our very own house!!! We are so VERY excited and happy and just plain giddy about it. Even L and M. (Although you can't tell in this picture-M just woke up from napping on the long drive.)
This is our real estate agent, handing me the keys--He was AWESOME, by the way! (We really should have closed the door for this shot, but we weren't thinking straight at the time.
)
Can you see the joy and excitement radiating from our faces?
Because David still needs to work down here for a little longer, we aren't moving for a couple of weeks. But we did go up and spend the first weekend in our very own house. Here are a few pictures of the house and yard.
Here is the garden. It is huge! I spent quite a bit of time working on it. Here is before:
And after:
Both L and M are ecstatic to have a house! When we were in the car, pulling out of the garage to go back to our apartment, L said, "I wish we were just going grocery shopping and then coming right back." And then, when we pulled up at our apartment and got out of the car, M pointed to the apartment, stomped her foot, and said in a very determined voice, "I don't want that house!"
