we finally have possession of our house. keys, garage openers, garage code, and a very dirty oven. (our realtor is sending a cleaning service because the previous owners didn't clean the kitchen at all and i was appalled. i did not want to clean that oven.)
we went to sign our life away and then made a stop at bed, bath and beyond for pillows and a trash can, the home depot for a de-humidifier (which we didn't buy because it was so expensive, but i went back and bought the next day anyways) and paint to begin the process of making this house great, then on to sears to see if they had a cheaper de-humidifier (which they didn't) where we ended up buying a shop vac. i did not have any desire to use my beautiful, new, normal vacuum for sawdust. more on my new vacuum later.
so we get to the house that is now officially ours, get to the front door and, out of nowhere, dave says "wait!" and reaches down to pick me up and carry me across the threshold. a romantic gesture to be sure. i was surprised he thought of it. it made me happy. then we high-tailed it to pepitos for some yummy celebration food.
good things.
