We're here!

We are finally in our new house...

While Carol was signing the papers selling our old house

she got a phone call:

The mortgage company for our new house

was having technical difficulties and

we couldn't close that night after all!

After a day of loading trucks the LAST

thing you want to hear is that you have nowhere to go!

We had dinner and a lot of beer/wine

with good friends of Mom and Dad's here in Northfield then

we spent the night at Mom and Dad's.

Mom supplied jammies and washed our clothes.

The next morning we got up, went and closed...

Waited 3 hours for the LARGE, NATIONwide

Mortgage company to get their act together

and give us the final approval code

and we FINALLY had keys to our new house!

One of the smartest things we did was hiring

people to unload the trucks! They actually started

before the sale was legally final

and even had to buy a bolt cutter

to cut locks off of the trucks!

Mom and Dad brought Mariah HOME

after her nap, bought supper, and

Mom made our beds!

You can only IMAGINE how nice it was

to sleep in our own beds that night!

We have had visitors and even overnight guests!

SOOOO thankful to family who have helped

and for friends who have fed us!

Will post more later! Have boxes to unpack!
