Deal is sealed!!!

We have a new house!! I haven't said anything very solid on here about our new house for many reasons. One, I didn't want to jinx anything, and two, its has been the most up and down rollercoaster we have ever been on. The short version of the story: we had a buyer in CA, so we put in an offer on the house of our dreams here in MN. The buyer backed out and we had to scramble to find a new buyer within a week or risk losing the MN house. We were lucky enough to find a new buyer. But various paperwork issues and errors happened and the closing of the house kept getting moved forward and backward and then delayed three weeks and then back to being a week away. It was a nightmare of Elm Street proportions!! But today as of 1pm, we are the official new owners of a beautiful home in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. And it was all worth it! Poor Andrew has been so stressed dealing with all the minute details of this process. I can't say I have the first clue about half the stuff he was negoitating about. But he did a wonderful job, and I am so thankful to have him! Now, its my turn to do the hard work of unpacking and figuring out where all of our mountains of stuff will go in the new house!

Hopefully we will have our Christmas cards out in the next week with our new address on them! As soon as we get settled, we welcome visitors anytime!

Thank you to everyone who has supported us and offered kind words and positive statements during this transition time! And a special thank you to my dad and Clare for letting us invade their home for the last two and half months! Hopefully we'll get some photos posted very soon!
