New Home Owners!

Well, we did it! We are officially first time home owners and are also officially living in our lovely new home! We closed Thursday afternoon, after a couple of days of fear that we may not get funded until our wedding week - not good since we had to be out this weekend.

We moved in yesterday (ALL day) and we are LOVING the new home! I love all the space and all the natural light! Beau loves the surround sound throughout the house (ok, I'll admit, it's pretty cool) and he loves the garage! I can't blame him. Shelby is loving her new doggie door and the freedom that comes with it. I'm loving it too. She's a chronic in-and-outer. It's annoying.

We broke the cardinal rule for new home owners and that is that we headed to Lowe's first thing this morning. Ok, I just made up that rule but it should be written into the closing documents that the buyer(s) will not visit Lowe's or Home Depot the first several months of owning. You WILL spend money and think that you can remodel the entire thing all at once. I had to stand back and take a breath after we were considering a new front door, paint for several rooms, new door knobs and hardware, and a new front porch light (we did get this). We are loving the 'burbs so far - everyone is so nice and neat-looking - their 2+ kids too!! ;-)

Wedding Update: OMG we are getting married exactly 1 week from now! Where did the time go? We are so excited but lots to do at work still. Our bags are all packed, ceremony programs are going to press Monday, weddings songs have been edited and are about to be sent to the band, and all outfits have been finalized!

Happy Easter!

I can't believe all that you have going on in one week. We are excited for a Frisco roadtrip when you arrive home from the honeymoon! ;)
