house!!

quick update while we have internet access... closing went well on friday so we are now officially homeowners twice over. the process is very different up here than it was when we bought our house in richmond. closing happened right at the registry of deeds in a dingy conference room where another closing was also happening. the sellers were there too so it was quite a party - me, jeremy, quentin, the sellers and their 3 year old, our realtor, their realtor, and our lawyer. their lawyer couldn't attend. but we've signed our lives away and have another house! now we don't have to answer the question, "what's your address?" with, "well that's complicated." the three of us spent the night in the new house on friday, quentin in his car seat and jeremy and i on air mattresses. we bought cleaning supplies and did some work. we also figured out where furniture would go. saturday we did some painting because there was a horrible pinky purple room that needed to go away. it is now a nice light yellow. also painted below the chair rail in the dining room - a lovely shade of red called cranberry whip. right now we're back in western mass. jeremy and my dad have gone to pick up the big old moving truck and mom and i will head up to my uncle's house to meet them and start loading. there's a lot to load but it's worth it to save a couple of grand!! we're not sure when our cable will be hooked up so our internet access will be somewhat spotty until then.
