New Home Owners

We just closed escrow on our first home. YEAH! We are officially home owners (or really "loan owners", but it still feels good). I went and picked up the keys about 30 minutes ago. We are heading to Home Depot later tonight to pick up supplies for our first projects. The house is 25 years old, but in great shape (an older widow woman lived there alone for years). There are definitely some features that we want to improve before we move all our stuff in (replace the carpet in the dining room with hard floor, remove wallpaper in the kitchen and paint). We're excited. How fun to finally be able to do whatever we want to our living quarters. The house sits on .86 acres, so there is a lot of room to do some fun things to the yard as well. I'm gearing up to plant a killer garden in the Spring. Good times.
