We got it!!!!

As of 8:40 this morning, the house is ours, totally firm, done deal.

[insert buyer's remorse here - still waiting for it to hit]

Schedule housewarming for early October when the leaves on all the trees in the backyard are bright colours but it's still (hopefully) warm enough for a barbecue. Or, if not, we'll just hang in front of the enormous living room windows to the backyard and enjoy a wood fire.

Now bring on the cleaning, decluttering, weeding, and lawn-mowing at our current house so we can get it sold asap. We were aiming to get the house on the market by next Friday, but I just looked on my calendar and saw that it's Friday the 13th, and I'm sorry but I just can't do that. So Thursday it is.

Hope your move goes smoothly! I hate the packing and unpacking and painting and... ugh.

Hope that, for you guys, it is smooth and stress-free!

Oh well, enjoy the glow for the weekend before you get stuck in with the work.
