Sara and I closed on the house yesterday afternoon. We have a few things to tie up, but it is official. I’ve already taken a few truck loads over to our garage and freed up a bunch of attic space from Sara’s parent’s house. We’ll be taking more stuff over the next few days and should be fully moved in by Saturday. We’ll have to do a ton of cleaning, organizing, and putting away, but the big leg work will be done. I surprised Sara with a baby grand piano that took many months of careful planning and sneakery. It came from the Brown household and I’m sure there were some that were sad to see it go, but it’s really only a guick phone call and trip away. Carol gave us a bunch of balloons, decorated the piano, and made the sign out front before we came home from closing. My mom came by and gave us bread, salt, and wine(think It’s A Wonderful Life). Thank you to everyone that helped us out along the way, we couldn’t have done it with out you (yes, that includes you too Katie)! Just think one year and one week ago, we were still living in Chicago, 400 miles away from all of you….it’s been one crazy year.
We will be adding some interior shots up here as soon as we get some furniture and decorations up over the next week.
