The closing on the house was a piece of cake! Other than signing our name another 100 times and munching on chocolate it was rather painless and I came out with a hand full of keys to *OUR* house. I literally have about 10 keys that go to the house which is a bit insane.
The first order of business with the house was to buy a shovel for the snow. The owner/real estate agent had shoveled a narrow tunnel down the driveway in order to get the appraiser in but we had to clear the rest in preperation for the movers tomorrow. It's pretty crazy that we own a house... with a driveway!
I also went to IKEA last night with a friend to buy some window coverings. It's nice to start with a clean slate but it also means I have to commit to things NOW, like what color of curtains to buy so that we aren't on dispaly for our neighbors. I'm not very good at committing. Thank you Anna (not my sis) for coaching me and holding my hand! Now the challenge is for Josh to actually get them hung.

I was just totally thinking that I should fly out and visit, I would love to go to IKEA with you. . . then I remembered that we just spent all our money on a transmission so I can't. Bummer! But even if it is difficult to commit, I bet it is loads of fun! Good luck with the move.
Congrats on being an official homeowner! I hope you end up liking Maryland. I have some family there and have visited there before. My great-grandfather had a house on the bay.
