Happy Owners of a New House

We closed on our new house yesterday, November 29th. Closing was a very smooth process, thanks to our good loan officer and title company. Also, a big shout out to our close friend and great realtor, Micah, for all of his help over the last year. It was a long search but we are confident we found the perfect house for our family.

Today the fun began...the cleaning process. Carpet cleaning is done and the carpet looks fantastic. We hired a friend to give the house a good deep clean before moving in. She worked the majority of the day on the kitchen. She had a issue with the gas stove, and it ate up more of her time than expected. Bless her heart! One of the burners got turned on while cleaning and the knob wouldn't turn it off. There was a period of panic as gas fumes filled the house. The fire department came out and shut off the gas. Everything is fine now, thank goodness. Hopefully that is all the BIG excitement we will have.

We had a Christmas lighting crew put up lights on the house this afternoon. I will post pics later. Tomorrow our storage compartments will be delivered and we will start unpacking on Friday. Sounds like it will be a fun moving weekend -- Lots of rain in the forecast. :)

The kids are beyond excited about the new house and their new rooms. I can't wait to turn this house into our home!
