we closed on the house yesterday. i guess i should say "our house" but it all seems quite surreal right now. everything seemed to go smoothly from what "property virgins" would know about purchasing a house.
we got some lunch after closing and took it to our house. of course there was nothing to sit on but the floor but we made do. js had the foresight to call all of the utility companies and change those into our name, so we had power, water, gas, etc.
we did some cleaning and painted some squares on the walls to see what colors the walls will be. it's funny to me that the paint swatches that come from the hardware store are quite different from what they look like on the wall. i know that i will pick something eventually but i'm quite torn between two colors right now for our bedroom.
pbs' bedroom was easy. the color is called rain cloud and is kind of a blue-gray. but the best part will be the wall with half painted in magnetic and chalkboard paints. i think he will have a lot of fun with that! if he doesn't, i know i will!
so we have a house now and are realizing that there is so much to do. we slept in our apartment last night and found it odd that we own a house and we're not staying there. with every other move we've made, we rented the space and were in it on the same day but we didn't have the option of making changes and improvements. now we have a place of our own and won't be staying there until mother's day but we are making changes and improvements.
our house is a very, very, very fine house...
