Finally, officially, at long last, I'm a homeowner! Well, I don't own quite ALL of it, but a darn good portion thereof!
Moving day WAS going to be tomorrow, the 15th, and my son's 6th birthday party would have been HERE, at the new house, on the 22nd. But the sellers had a setback in the buying of THEIR new house, and so we can't move in until the 22nd.
The lady of the house cleared out the family room for me, though, and I was able to borrow a truck and small trailer the other day. I ferried 85+ bags, boxes, and bins over there and piled them in that room. I may do it again sometime this coming week; every container I can physically move myself saves me on the movers' costs!
So the birthday party is tomorrow, and we'll be moving in a week. Honestly, I'm absolutely ready to go. If the sellers called and said, "Okay, we're ready!", I could happily pull an all-nighter and get the last of the packing done. They could load during the party, and once the guests left, then we could go unload at the new house. But...that's not gonna happen.
What's gonna happen is that we'll be here another week. I think the sellers are going to actually vacate on Wed or Thur, though, so if that happens, I'll go in and take some pictures of the house as it stands empty. Well, except for the 85 containers...

Hot stuff, Laurel. That's a totally beautiful house! Good for you.
Thanks, Daphne. It has a lot of things I've always wanted: corner lot, porch, dining room, etc... I looked at a LOT of houses, and this one felt right. :-)
