Yesterday was a big day. We finally closed on our house. I feel like we've been looking at houses for months and months and months. There have been endless emails and a constant scrambling for paperwork. There were countless conversations about interest rates and profit margins and how-can-we-avoid-a-rehab-loan???!!!! (the answer ended up being to just back out of the situation). And of course there was that interval where we totally changed our minds about what we felt we wanted . . . and the stars aligned and this happened:
Our realtor is really a rockstar, and of course she gave us a bottle of wine to celebrate . . . oh well. We were so excited to be done!
Here's a link to a google maps sight of the house (it's the brick one). We have not had an official photo shoot yet.
Neither of us had really eaten anything all day so we went to a Japanese steak house! I had never been and it was so awesome. The restaurant was mostly empty so we just got to sit and soak in what had happened.
Later in the night we went to the house with Joe, Alana, Cindy (Alana's mom), Jens and Casey (Alana's brother-in-law) and ate ice cream on the front porch. It was fun to have other people in the house other than us, our realtor, the plumber and the inspector! Our ward is helping us move tomorrow because we have to be out of our apartment before June! I'll post lots more pictures in a day or two.
In other news, as it happens, all my grades are in as of yesterday and I am officially a college graduate. Yes!

ReplyDeleteYAY! Congratulations! We are so excited for you and so excited to come sleep in your beautiful new home in a few weeks! We can't wait to see more pictures!
You should be dancing in front of that beautiful house... oh, yeah... you, in fact have done that... and very well, I might add. We are excited to look forward to the day when we can dance in front of Twelmeyer's residence in person.

ReplyDeleteWOWEE. That is really exciting, talk about a good week. New house and a College graduate. Your house is so big it looks like there is a lot of space and plenty of room for dancing inside. We are so happy for you. And I took a tour of your neighborhood and saw that you are really close to a school just down the street. We look forward to more pictures. WAY TO GO!!!!!
Congratulations are so in order. Both of those big events happening on the same day is a rare occasion. We are so excited for our trip to Columbus!!!

ReplyDeleteHouses are big deals, especially a first house. Yet... houses come and go. That college degree is part of you forever no matter what house you live in. I am so very proud of you, and glad to know that that stage of your life and educational journey is successfully completed.
