Home Sweet Home

Well after a morning of screaming, begging, pleading, and praying we got the call that we were going to close at 4:00.  This was the news that we had been waiting on. 
There are still some things not completed, but they will happen even if we end up having to send out a warranty request.  At this point I am just so glad that we are all going to have a home that is ours.  So many blessings. 
We got the the attorney's office and did not have to wait too long.  Of course the mortgage company did not do some of the things that we had asked.  Go figure.  After things slow down there will be several certified letters going out.  We signd the papers and then were told that they were still waiting on one.  We ended up watching another couple close and then still waiting for that one paper, well it was like three I think, but it was one document.  Anyway, we finally closed and left the attorney's office with keys in hand. 
We headed to Meemaw's to get the boys and the TV's and a load of boxes.  Why not go on and get started.  It is ours.  We had to have the TV's and the DirecTV boxes though because DirecTV will be at the house at 8:00 in the morning.  We headed to the house and let mom have the honor of using the keys and unlocking our front door!  It was an awesome feeling knowing that we were finally home. 

Thanks for everyone who has been there for this journey  While it has only just begun I also know that I would have lost all signs of sanity had it not been for you all.  I love you all and cannot wait to start this chapter in our lives! 

Weekend is Over

Well today we woke up again to the amazing sights, smells, sounds, etc of the lake. It was great. Brandon cooked breakfast again. I think his desire to cook while we are there is another reason that I like it so much ;)

We spent the rest of the morning and into the afternoon swimming and soaking up some serious sun. Margie made us a great little flower bed around one of our trees. I love it! Thank you thank you thank you Margie. We had some hosta that the previous owners had in a pot (that was broken) and it has just been hanging out. She asked if we cared if she planted it. Of course we did not. Now to get some easy to maintain flowers and add them and we are well on our way to having a nice yard to go with our lake view.

Brandon came up and grilled hamburgers again. Again him and the cooking work miracles for my feelings of the lake. When we came up to eat we also started to get ready to leave. We gave the kids about an hour to play and I started on the last of the laundry, the washing of the dishes from lunch and just random picking up. Then before we left I cleaned all the counters, swept, vacuumed and mopped. Not to forget the toilets and sinks! I love coming back to a clean place. If only we were coming back soon, but it will probably be about three weekends. We have to get ready for the beach and then go, so I do not mind.

We hitched up the trailer and headed home. Then to unhitch, unload, eat dinner, showers, baths, bedtime!!! Now that everyone else is in bed I am headed there myself. I have a lot to get done this week and next week. I am ready though. The Vitamin D this weekend was very motivational! Before I head to bed I will say a prayer for you all. I have to admit I am looking forward to sleeping in my bed!
