We're homeowners!!!

Well, after my final, final, FINAL walkthrough this morning, we are definitely pleased with the finished product of our new home. We signed all the papers today and received the keys to our house. We're SOOO excited! There are a few things that still need to be completed, but since we're on a time crunch where closing is concerned, we decided to sign the papers with the promise of the builder (in writing!!!) that the remaining items would be accomplished in the next few weeks. Things still need to be done:

1. Entry way light is still not installed - on back order
2. Ceiling fan extensions for 3 fans are on back order
3. Doorbell doesn't work
4. Faucets in all 3 baths are not what we ordered and will be replaced

So, it's a short list, which is good! For the next several days, I might be a bit quiet on the blog. There are some cleaning things I need to do at the new place (seal grout, seal granite, "wax" bathrooms, etc) in addition to finishing our packing here by the 10th, which is when the movers are scheduled to arrive. My mom is coming to help me while Patrick is out of town, which I'm SOOO thankful for, otherwise I think I *may* have gone a little crazy.

Anyway, we're so thankful for this blessing of a home that God has so abundantly provided for us. Now, you all NEED to come visit!

Congratulations, Melanie! We're thankful with you for God's goodness in providing this wonderful home for you. May it always be a place of blessing, a haven of sweet hospitality, a nest of nurturing and a launching pad for you and Patrick and your children to touch others with Christ's love.
