Closing Day

I just had to post a picture from the day we closed on the house. It was such an exciting day. A good friend took the kids while Luke and I headed to Atlanta where the closing attorney's office was. Our incredible realtor Jamie came (even though she didn't have to). She sat and ate candy with us while we signed what felt like our life away. Jamie gave us our very first house warming gift. (the coolest platter that can go in the oven) When all was signed and done Luke and I could not believe it. We kept saying to each other "Can you believe we own a home?" We drove straight to the house to pick up our first set of keys. As Luke and I walked through our home for the first time we felt so peaceful . After ten years of marriage we couldn't believe the day finally came. It was a great day!!

Congratulations Luke & Jenn. You deserve it. Jenn, you have always made any of your residences very homey to begin with. I can only imagine what you can do with your own home!

Once you get settled we'll have to come visit!

I just have to say that I love your home!! I'm really jealous of the basement! I can't believe how settled you are after only a week! Best of luck on the curtains. You are always welcome to my machine!

Hurray! You guys are home buyers. James and I are thinking we'll be married for about ten years before we can afford to buy a home. Congratulations! You deserve it.

that is so cool! Congrats you guys...I know how much moving around you have done so I know it's going to feel really good to settle down for a while...and not to mention decorate and paint and do WHATEVER you want with the place. :)

So exciting! Have fun making your house your home:0) Our house is on the market right now...we are heading to Forest Grove soon. We couldn't resist moving to a small town and it's gorgeous out there!
