It's official. As of this morning, we are the proud owners of a set of keys to a cute little brick house near the university. Perhaps more importantly, the title to said property is now in our name. To those of you on your third or fourth (or more) home, this may not be a big deal, but it's a pretty big deal to us. We went down tonight to admire the property and managed to get out just before the skies opened up (thereby solving a problem for me: how to water the lawn and garden until we get the water in our name).
It's pretty exciting. It would be even more exciting if I didn't feel like we were hemorrhaging money . . . I have never spent so much money in one week in my life (Monday: down payment and closing costs; today: washer, dryer, and dishwasher.)
Still, it feels good to have passed one more milestone on the road to adulthood.

Congratulations! I am so excited for you and your family! :)
Congratulations and welcome to the landed gentry! Special privileges await.
Congratulations! What a huge (and fun!) step.
So wonderful and exciting.
I get the hemorrhaging money though. For our first anniversary, we gave each other paper - namely the signed documents to our new house. All agents involved assured us the payment would be a nice round number. That number plumped three hundred dollars on the night of signing and we went home certain that we would die, be evicted, go bankrupt, etc. etc. We cried for a week.
But still, it was a wonderful memory!
Congratulations! It's such a big stress the first time you buy a house (actually, not just the first time). But the worst is over for you. Now is the part to enjoy! I love the back yard!
Don't forget the 55" 1080p LED TV so Dan can watch Good Eats in style.
