After a much longer than expected escrow process, we finally closed on Friday! We got the keys in the afternoon, and enjoyed just spending some time in what is now our house. We also decided to have dinner there, so I prepped some food at our apartment and cooked our first meal in the new house. It was kind of fun doing something that we know we'll do countless more times in the future. Of course, it will be a LOT easier once we have a refrigerator and all of our stuff moved in.
Then, this weekend, we took a few car loads of boxes over. Mostly books and things that we don't plan to use for the next couple of weeks. Our bookcase here is beginning to look quite bare. It almost makes me want to go used-book store shopping to fill it up! We are also having quite a lot of fun visualizing how we want the house to look. We keep changing our mind on which room will be Noah's room and which one will be the office/library. It's funny how, even though they are just about the same size, there are just small enough differences to make the decision difficult.
Right now, we are just moving over about one carload per day. We will be doing our official move the weekend after we get back from our vacation, so September 6 and 7. If anyone is around to help, we'd gladly appreciate it.
Anyway, no pictures quite yet. Hopefully, soon, though. Stay posted!

Wish we could drop in for the weekend to help you guys move and help take care of Noah. We’ll look forward to the pictures.
