It's Official!

We are now in possession of our new house! Closing went smoothly, and it was very satisfying to turn that key in the lock.

A wonderful housewarming gift from our home salesperson was awaiting us when we arrived! She was great to work with and made that part of the process fun and painless. Thanks, Shauna! You're the best!

The first official act was having lunch on the porch. There was a nice breeze and the birds were singing. There was a very busy woodpecker nearby, and the hummingbirds were checking out the feeder I put up a week or two ago. After lunch, Terry had to check the nap factor of the porch...It seemed to be working for him!

I had loaded up the car with a few boxes of dishes and other smaller items the night before, so we got those unloaded.

With no furniture and bare walls, I just had to put something out to add some color. These won't stay in this spot,  but for now it adds a little bit of personalization.

Tomorrow's agenda includes cleaning cabinets, adding shelf liner, and painting the master bedroom. Bringing construction to a close is certainly not the end...
