New House!

May the fourth be with you!  (two days ago)  I haven't spent a whole lot of time thinking about blog posts the last little while as the closing date for our new house came closer and closer - and finally arrived on Tuesday.  It was originally suggested to have May 5 as the closing date, but we changed it to the day before, to take advantage of the Star Wars reference... not that either of us are Star Wars junkies by any definition (I think I may have watched all episodes once, can't say what Mike's watched but I definitely know he isn't a die-hard fan).  Just a quirky choice of date I suppose.
So, after a couple of busy, slightly stressful weeks of getting all the proper paperwork in order, we were finally able to pick up the keys on Tuesday at noon.  We've been doing some cleaning, painting, and decision making, and although there is a lot of work yet to do before it feels like "home", we are very excited!  I haven't posted pictures of the house yet, so here are a few...enjoy!
