So, We Bought A House

Today was quite the day. Work at a 150%. 3 1/2 hour meeting with a new client. Last minute mortgage/realtor negotiations (stick to your guns, that's my recommendation, don't play too nice or they'll take advantage of you), and singing your name for what seems like an eternity.

But its all over. We've got a house we love. April and I are very happy and thankful to the Lord for all He's given us. Thinking about where we started out a little over 2 years ago and where we are now, well, if that's not providence I've gotta respect your cynicism.

Anyways, I suppose I'm feeling a little bit more sentimental/earnest than usual, but its all been so stunning. April said, "kinda like when you get married, all you can really say is 'well, that happened'".

So tomorrow is moving day. In the morning we're going to be helping Hugo and Allison move, and then in the afternoon they're coming over to help us move (helps we're about 5 doors from each other). We're going to share a rental truck too. Stephen, Brent, Andy, Megan, Joseph, and some others have all volunteered to help, and even before its happened, I appreciate it.

Oh, Chris and Janelle were heroes helping us clean tonight. Although it was pretty much 100% Janelle and April cleaning. Chris and I just brough them supplies and ant-killer and then hit best buy and McKays. Tomorrow will be our workday, or, well, my workday 'cause Chris & Janelle are heading out of town to a baby shower for the Crabbs.

OK, I'm to bed. Lets see if the wife will let me sneak a few rounds of Lumines in before I fall asleep.
