Our new house!

Hooray, hooray, we have a house at last!  We got the keys last night after a whirlwind adventure with the bank, the underwriters, and the escrow company in which our bank sent all of our very personal private information to the listing agent instead of the escrow office...and then put the wrong date on all of the documents.  That escrow agent was a saint.  She hung in there, printing, revising, and reprinting our 95-page bundle until it was all correct.  After an hour of signing and making that big ol' wire transfer, everything closed yesterday and we were able to get into the house to take a look around.  We had arranged to buy the couch and storage fridge from the previous owners, but to our surprise they had also left five storage units in assorted sizes, all their gardening gear including a wheelbarrow and hoses, and a full rack of paint and hand tools in the garage.  Score!  And also, wow, that's a lot of stuff to sort through and decide what to do with.  Oh well.  We have lots of time to figure that out.  Our first order of business is to give everything a good rubdown with some TSP, clean the floors, and paint a few walls.  Luckily, everything is already in good shape and it won't take much to make it ours.  I'm so excited!  This is going to be fun.  Lots of before-and-after pictures to come!
