We are Homeowners!!!

Well after all that we went through our prayers were truly answered and we were able to close on the house yesterday afternoon.  We were just so excited, but a little bit in shock and disbelief!  Our closing was at 3pm, then after that we drove right to the house to begin cleaning it.  
Packing in the apartment
I had a feeling the previous owners were not going to leave the house very clean so we anticipated on having to scrub.  Wow were we ever right though, the place was completely FILTHY!!!  You can just tell they never cleaned the house while they lived there.  Alec was in charge of vacuuming and had to empty the canister 5 different times, it was SO bad!  We got a lot of cleaning done last night, and even started putting some of our stuff in there! 

Entering the house (from garage) for the first time as owners!

They left so much random stuff there, most of which will end up in the trash.  So of it though was worth keeping.  There are so many projects for us to be working on in the house, we are very excited to get started.  We can't wait to make the place our own!  Tomorrow is moving day, so I will post again after that and keep everyone posted.

Of course Alec would want to check out the laundry
