Ours! (and the bank's. . . )



We closed yesterday.

It was a whirlwind of logistics as we are trying to surprise the kids on Friday. We wanted to have a Uhaul full of stuff from our Minneapolis home and have it there for us on Friday so that we could move it in and actually have a place to sleep that night.

Oh, and get it re-carpeted in the mean time while it is empty.

I met Sheila up there with the truck and she followed behind having had to attend a meeting in the morning.

Without her, I took a wrong turn and ended up at someone else's place.

Oh and did I mention the ice storm?

Anyway, I must've been nervous because at the walk-through the sellers and their Realtor asked if I was okay.

Having never performed a walk-through before, I was definitely nervous.

But it went swell and we signed our life away and here it is! The cabin in winter.

Closing!

We're finally closing in a couple of weeks. . . !

If all goes as (logistically) planned, we will surprise the kids after Thanksgiving with a couple of nights away.

We can't wait!
