So sorry for the delay in posting about our weekend!!  It was crazy busy, as you can imagine, and I haven’t had internet access at the house.  Here’s the scoop…

Friday:  Charles and I got up early and headed to Goldsboro to do our final walk through at 11 am.  Everything was fine, except the porches which have begun to droop even more (which was expected).  The basement door and windows had been repaired from the break in, and our fence had been mended.  After lunch, another stop by the house, and a few hours of painful waiting, we headed over to our lawyer’s office a little before 3 pm.  Although there were a few bumps in the road, the result was us closing on our new home!!!!  We immediately headed over to Park Avenue, where Charles’ parents’ surprised us with champagne, and lots of pictures!  Our next door neighbors, who also happen to be good family friends, came over to help us celebrate.

After celebrating, we headed over to Charles’ grandfather’s house (where we will be living until the house is ready) and unloaded a few things.  Then it was back to Greensboro to prepare for another full day!

Saturday:  We got up early, picked up the U-haul, loaded it (many many many thanks to my wonderful brother for his help!!!), and were back on the road by 11 am.  We met our cousins, Michael and Mary, and began the unloading process (many many many thanks to yall too!!).  Then it was showers, dinner, and drinks with some new friends.

We are completely ecstatic that the house is FINALLY ours!!  We weren’t sure we would ever get here!  We are next on the list for the painters, plaster guys, and carpenters, so work should be starting soon!  Many more posts and pictures to come.
