We're in!

Quick update:

Everything went super smoothly with closing. We had to address several issues at the house after we got the keys. Turns out it had been vacant for a year, so a few things had to happen to sufficiently shake the dust off. That was all stressful, but it turned out fine in the end, and the cost was minimal. Thank goodness!

We moved in yesterday and couldn't be happier to be here. We have way more stuff than I thought we did, and the house feels way bigger. I'm sure we'll outgrow it in no time, but right now it feels great to stretch our legs! Yesterday evening some neighbors came by to welcome us and brought us a pot of mums. Also, I happened to know one of the neighbors who came by from my old job. What a small world! She said, "I'm so glad it's you!" That made me feel so great. :) They were all extremely nice, and we feel so blessed. Some other friends of ours who also moved to this suburb recently took good care of us and brought us dinner. What a lifesaver you are, Chez!

Also, I fall more in love with the neighborhood and surrounding area every time I drive around. I am so thankful for all these blessings and woke up with a (very exhausted) smile on my face this morning. :)

Next up: Antiquing with my mom in Round Top! Be back Wednesday!
