We closed on our house yesterday!!! We are so excited to start fixing it up and moving our stuff in. It's going to be a crazy day on Monday with the contractor coming to fix the repairs, the tree removal service cutting down 2 huge trees (on man!), a painter who'll be painting the whole interior for us, and someone to set up our natural gas. We can't believe the house is ours!!
Our closing experience sure was different than we expected because it felt a lot like the DMV. Everyone closing on their home along with their agent was shuffled into one big room and fed candy for 3 hours while we waited for our names to be called. Once we got to start signing paperwork it only took about 30 minutes before we were done. I guess it was to be expected because this was the federal government we were dealing with and it was the end of the month (busy, busy, busy!). When they finally called our names Brad said "Hallelujah" and the couple behind us said "Praise the Lord!" for us. Brad then replied back, "Can I get an amen?" and they said "Amen!!!"
I am very happy because we were pleasantly surprised when our agent gave us a parting gift of a $50 gift card to Home Depot. I can't wait to use it!
To celebrate, last night we double-dated with Brad's parents and saw Cowboys and Aliens. Daniel Craig makes a really good cowboy. I really enjoyed that movie. I mean, what could go wrong, it had aliens in it, right? I'd have to say, it's my favorite Western.
This morning, Brad is at a car auction and then we're excited to begin General Conference at 12pm. What a great weekend!!
