Home! Sweet! Home!!

So I don't have much time because I have a bazillion things to do (yes that is the right number!) but just wanted to let you know that I am officially a homeowner as of this afternoon! I closed on my townhouse today and PRAISE THE LORD, everything was as smooth as butter. Or is it silk? In any case, I just signed my named several hundred times and it was a done deal. I was really expecting it to be much worse but the attorney was down to business and explained each paper that I signed fairly quickly. I am so grateful that it was so easy. Of course signing my name should be the easiest part of the deal. While I'm at it, I've decided a shout-out to my parents is in order. They gave me the best name. It's so pretty to write. As you might assume, I sign my formal name instead of my nickname and every time I signed, my first thought was did I spell it correctly or did I add an any extra c's. (Sometimes I just get carried away!) Then I just thought it was the prettiest looking name on paper, no matter how many times and slightly different ways it looked. Same goes for my initials. I just love initialing things! I think more of the shout-out should be directed towards my mom because I'm pretty sure I inherited my penmanship from her and not my dad! :)

Anywho, so I'm a homeowner! Yippee! I can't wait to move. It won't actually happen fully until August as I have a few things I need to do beforehand. Like pack. I've lived in the same place for 8 years and I'm AMAZED at how much I've collected. I have to say that most of it is NOT junk but I'm going to have to part with some of it nonetheless. I feel like the purging process is healthy. Currently, I'm shredding eight years of documents, receipts, etc. I've gone through three paper shredders and have become soooo thankful that currently, I'm practically living paper-less-ly!

I'll post pictures once I take them. Hopefully soon. I'm leaving on July 4th to go on a trip with POTUS and I have a series of goals to accomplish before then. That is one of them!
