We now have keys. This has been a VERY long day.... Congratulations. Do go over the paperwork when you have a moment. I found an error on mine twice and received checks because of it as I had overpaid at closing. Have some wine or champagne.

I LOVE IT!!! Beats the hell out of the garden stone I got for Mom's Day. Ugh. Why do 99% of people like ugly lawn decorations?

I do not heart garden gnomes!!! The only things I like are birdbath-like statues or those little iridescent ball things.

LOL, no one does. But these guys are so ugly they're cute. ;D OK so to just pile on, here's my favorite quote from an old neighbor: Did you have fun last weekend or are you a homeowner?

Yay, Jen! Welcome to the world of fixing, painting, plugging, repairing and rewiring. And that's just the normal stuff.
Dang, the big girl panties are on and belted tight now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the first thing we have to do is remove some obsolete/unnecessary fixtures. They had a sprinkler system installed for some reason.

oh, we're not uninstalling that ourselves. We're hiring a contractor. We'll be hiring out most things since neither DH or I are handy.

DH was dead set against painting or ripping out the paneling because he thought it was real wood. Well it isn't, so now he's okay with ripping it out!!

Oh, and I am so happy for you, MJ. My closing got delayed for 3 days because they had forgotten to give us that 3-day GFE thingy. I was beyond consolable -- it had taken us SO long to buy a house and I felt like it was slipping from our grasp. It all worked out in the end, though, just like your closing, and we are finally "home".
