Home sweet home

Well... we did it!  We nervously met our lawyer, nodded our heads at a bunch of mumbo-jumbo lawyer jargon while signing 50 bajillion papers within the contract, and excitedly yet cautiously accepted the key... the key to our home.  

Really?  So, we just take the key and we go?  Yes, you take the key and you go.  We left the lawyer's office and drove to 720 Lexington Avenue, pulled in the driveway and stared up at the house which was now our house.  We felt like a couple of 7 year olds on Christmas morning.

We walked in the house.  It's completely empty of course.  

We laughed.

We danced.

We squealed and jumped up and down.  Ok... I squealed and jumped up and down.

We took a nap on the floor.

We picked up a pizza and ate it in the dining room, sitting on the floor of course.

We are now back in debt.... "debt up to our eyeballs" as my boss would say.

I can't believe it.  It still feels so surreal.  It will be really weird when we go to the house on Saturday with ALL of our things and STAY there.  So many times we have traveled to St. Charles but had to leave to return to our apartment.  But not this Saturday. 

I will post more pictures of the move and all the helping hands but for now, welcome to our home!  

For those who have asked for the address:

720 Lexington Avenue

St. Charles, IL 60174
