OURS

Today Andrew & I became HOMEOWNERS!

What an amazing feeling to come home to something that is ours. Well, not completely ours. We OWN the house, and KEY BANK OWNS us! ... Therefore KEY BANK OWNS us ALL!

We met with our lawyer today John Palimini and went over all of the paperwork. We spent what seemed like FOREVER signing our names and initialing everything.

When we were finished it was like a HUGE load was lifted off my shoulders. I am not even kidding. I have been on the verge of throwing up for the last few days in anticipation of this Closing.

We started this process back in February and quickly became very serious about this house! The feeling I felt walking into it for the first time is something I will never forget. I knew from that moment that the house would be ours. There were many ups and downs. On several occasions I tried to convince myself that it was not right. Yet in the back of my mind I always KNEW that this was OUR house!

I have learned SO MUCH from this experience on many levels. From terminology to finding my threshold. I think KelliSue said it best. She said, "congratulations on discovering just how much fortitude and endurance you can muster" and it is so true. There were so many times that I wanted to quit, but I just kept going.

I just wanted to THANK EVERYONE that made this possible. You know who you are! There is no way that Andrew and I would be in the position we are now without you!

THANK YOU! WE LOVE YOU!
