The house is ours! *Almost* We signed our papers today and are just waiting for money to change hands - the keys will be ours by Tuesday at the latest but we are really hoping to get them by Friday. Husband and I are talking about knocking out some painting this weekend and getting the blinds/ceiling fans installed - that sort of stuff - this weekend. Then, we can actually move next weekend. I HOPE, I HOPE! We've been patient but I am getting to the end of my rope. I am so excited for this house. We need the space. I need the fresh start.
