Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow

Yes, tomorrow is the day we finally settle on our house. Seriously we found this house before Xander was even born and now he's 12 weeks old! I have been waiting forever!

Today we had the final walk through to check repairs done to the house. It was all boring stuff like the dryer needed a new vent, and there was old wiring in the attic that needed to be replaced. Altogether the repairs were about 6,000$, so we were happy the seller agreed to do it. Well, imagine our  surprise when we found out they went above and beyond what we asked!

The whole front porch needed to be sanded and repainted. When we walked up to the house we realized the whole thing had been redone! Then Ryan said they also fixed a soffet (whatever the heck that is) on the roof, and they nailed a couple of boards on the porch down. They also chopped down a couple of dead trees in the yard, and mowed the lawn recently.

I find it so unbelievable that they went beyond what we asked. Even though it was small stuff, and mostly cosmetic it was such a nice surprise. The porch alone was something I was dreading doing, and now I don't have to worry about it! Yay!

So now, after signing a million papers tomorrow I can start getting busy with everything. Time to go curtain shopping, paint shopping, furniture shopping, and make 500 trips between our apartment and the house!
