it's official... the house is ours!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!
We got the keys to our house!
After having the most awful week in the history of weeks...
After having spent several hours in a nice downtown building signing my closing documents only to walk out empty handed...
And after having 20% taken out of our savings and wired to our builder *puke*...
The house is ours.
All 3,000 sq. feet that we designed and built from the ground up... is ours!
We did it!
Yesterday was moving day!
Bryan had a lot of heavy lifting and organization to do.
I have a lot of furniture purchasing and decorating to get done.
We're on an insane time crunch, details of which I have not shared on my blog yet, so my dad has thankfully flown out from CA to help us with everything.
What would I do without my dad, seriously?!
We have given ourselves 10 days to move in, and since we're only moving 2.2 miles away, we're anticipating things to be seamless and for us to be officially settled into our new home in no time.
Let the fun, errrrrr *moving* begin!
