Nick wanted to have a house-warming party to show our friends the new place. He wanted an 80's theme...and everyone ate it up! We agreed it would be the first and last party we host! We love our new house and want to keep it looking great! LOL.

A little catch up...
A lot has happened in the past two weeks! So much so, that I have not had time to blog about it.
We closed on the house last Friday, got the keys and started the move-in process immediately! My brother and I handled my things from my house, and Nick used his truck to get out of his apartment. (He was very excited to never have to see that place again!) Well, Nick started moving around 14:30, and we finally called it quits at 20:30 when he was lying on the bathroom floor unable to move...
After much hesitation and resistance on Nick's part (darn men), I demanded we go to Urgent Care. After three failed locations, I find one that is open until midnight and drive Nick to get checked. He had a 103 degree temperature and had lost about 10lbs because he couldn't keep anything down. Tes
ted negative for flu (stay away H1N1). The doctor prescribed Tama-Flu, Ibuprofen, and plenty of rest. The first night in our new house I was up every 3hrs to give Nick pills and juice...welcome home!
The next morning, Nick was moving furniture again! That man is stubborn!
We got settled in over that weekend and Nick started to recover. (He is just now getting over the last of it.)
We have met a handful of the neighbors and they seem very friendly and professional. We are by far the youngest home-owners on the block. At least we don't have to worry about those "young hooligans!" Haha.
Today, I met with a graduation counselor and confirmed my graduation for May of 2010. One semester left and I will be at the end of this road...finally! Then to begin my masters education. Oh boy!

Sheer Excitment!
Tomorrow, Nick and I are closing on our house! I am so excited that this day is finally here (one week late). There is so much to be done and at the same time it signifies the end of a lot of chaos. Who knew the real-estate world could be so complex and hectic?! Well, these first time home buyers surely did not! Everything will pay off tomorrow at noon when we close and have house keys in our hands...
