Closing Day... a little recap

No one ever tells you how exhausted you will be the day after your house closing! I am so glad that we have 30 days until we have to be completely moved out of our rental house... I could not imagine having to move right now.. all I want to do it sleep... and redecorate in my head! :)

But I could not let the excitement of CLOSING DAY go by without sharing some bits and pieces:

1) The Hubby and I brought LC to my cousin's house and handed her the booster seat and the car line pick up sheet so she could get LG at 2pm. Thank you Cuz!!

2) Kid free, we met our Realtor at the house and did our final walk through. Saw lots of cobwebs that The Hubby will have to take care of this weekend.

3) We headed to the title offices and moved into a large room with an even larger table. I was so nervous I had to use the restroom right away!

4) The sellers walked in and it was a bit awkward at first, but soon we warmed up with each other. I informed them that my first order of business is to change that orange & blue key. Laughs all around!

5) Papers.. and lots of them were passed around the table. I felt like I was part of some crazy signature assembly line!

6) As we waited for the 1750 sheet of paper to be copied, we talked about the house and the seller's offered us some stories that THEIR sellers passed onto them at THEIR closing:

* The son of the previous owner was in boy scouts and every year he would get a tree to plant int he community for Arbor Day... but he always planted it in their backyard! Which is why there are (at one count) over 40 trees!

* The previous owner was part of a group that would go into buildings that were being demolished and would salvage bits and pieces. Some of those pieces he used in his house. The front door was a table that was in a cigar rolling factory; the stain used on it is a tobacco stain!

7)Once the keys were handed over to us and we walked out (I practically skipped!)... we headed right over to OUR new house and used OUR new key and walked into OUR living room and I did a dance on OUR hardwood floor! It was awesome!

After, we headed back to my cousin's place to get the boys and then we all went out to dinner to celebrate! We then returned home to the rental house and passed out from the day.. it was only 8pm!

I am looking forward to this weekend, when we can get in there and start making memories... the first being The Hubby removing all those creepy-crawlies!
