We closed. We closed. We CLOSED!!! And that’s about all the excitement I can give you right now.  It was pretty much an all day thing with our grant closing at 10 am this morning down in Provo and our actual closing at noon up in Salt Lake.  We didn’t get back home until almost 3!  Our little Greta-bug stayed with Brandon and Stephanie at their place all day which we were all grateful for because Greta isn’t digging our digs right now, with all those boxes everywhere.

We drove around Utah and signed papers all day and it was all so surreal.  This second go-around has been nothing short of a blessing.  We found an amazing realtor, Kristen Price.  We recommend her to EVERYONE!  She is so sweet and honest and hardworking and she found us our dream house and held our hand the whole time.  She is a blessing, along with our loan specialist, Adam Campbell at Academy Mortgage.  Shout out to those incredible people.

So why anti-climatic??  Well, we won’t get the keys until tomorrow afternoon.  So after lots of high fives, hugs and a couple freaking outs “We’re homeowners!” we drove home, picked up Greta and went back to our apartment.  We’ll be celebrating with Papa Murphys and more packing tonight.

I don’t want to end such a happy and historical post with a downer like packing–luckily some other exciting news has entered my life and it starts with a b…. Is tricking you into thinking we’re having another baby getting old?  Maybe.  This “b” stands for Behr.  The paint company.  I was contacted out of the blue yesterday about being an online consultant for them.  I eagerly agreed.  I love all-things paint colors and home improvement so I was nothing short of giddy when the offer came.  I have already jumped in and feel right in my element.  Can I get an air-five?!
