Closing Day!

The day finally came... we closed on our house! It took us about 2 full years to find out house, but now that we closed and are in we both know it was well worth the wait!

Closing went pretty smoothly. We met with our realtor at our house and did a final walk through. All seemed to check out and there were no new damages or issues. After finishing up the walk through, we all headed over to the office where we would close, which was close by. Frank and I went through the pile of paperwork, "signing our life away" as he likes to call it. We finished all of the paperwork in about an hour and a half. Then, the lawyer looked to us and asked for our down payment check. We were boggled since the bank was supposed to wire the money over earlier that day. The lawyer called our bank and turns out, the bank forgot to send the wire!! To make a long story short, we had to run to the bank branch down the street and get a cashier's check for our down payment.

Once we turned over the check, the house was officially ours!! We were both very excited. Here's our first steps in our new home as official homeowners!

 

The tree in the front of our new home was also in full bloom that day, so we snapped a few shots of that beauty too.

So that's pretty much it... now we're in and happy to be on our way to our dream home!
