Let The Home Repairs Begin!

We closed on our house on Friday.  I can't say it was a happy exciting day because it was actually super stressful.  Everything that could go wrong did.  There were several instances that we thought we wouldn't be able to close.  Delaying the closing wouldn't have mattered except that we already have a date that we need to be out of our rental house, so each day counts from here on out.  Anyways, everything barely worked out in the end, so we took our keys and went to our new home one final time that evening.

Here's our new home picture.  :)

Yesterday Jim used a vacation day to start painting.  Unfortunately, we didn't accomplish much because we had eight hours worth of unavoidable holds ups and Abby wanted me to hold her all day (so not typical!).  It wasn't stressful, though, and we enjoyed being in our new house.

The only area we actually painted was the kitchen ceiling.  Sheesh!


We also started repairing cracks and holes in the ceilings and walls.
Jim is using another vacation day tomorrow, and we have a babysitter lined up.  (Thank you!  You know who you are.)  So we're hopeful to make a lot of progress.
