So... we bought a house...

"Every house where love abides
And friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home sweet home
For there the heart can rest."
-Henry Van Dyke

After months of real estate woes, it was a little anti-climactic... but we signed the paperwork on our new home in South Carolina yesterday afternoon. (Or, to be exact, Rob did... being unemployed doesn't exactly help your credit score!)

After the last swoosh of the pen, we made our first trip to Lowe's and then headed to the house to replace the locks, reprogram the garage door, and scrub the bathrooms. 

We've got a couple of weeks left on our apartment lease, so we'll have some time to do some sprucing up and slowly migrate over.

Give us a month or two and we'll be ready for visitors! The door's always open!
