Adiós Charlestown

It has been almost a week since the big move and we finally have internet and cable again :-) The move went incredibly well and was rather un-stressful, thanks to the fabulous Roadrunner Moving and Storage. Due to Chris and my organizational skills and the strength and professionalism of the movers, everything happened seamlessly with the exception of some minor rain showers on moving day. Luckily by the time the movers pulled into the driveway at 19 BHL, the sun was shining. Our belongings where shuttled into the moving truck so quickly that we forgot that we would miss good ole Chucktown and were just excited to be new residents of Ashland, MA. A special thanks also goes out to Paul, Ralphie and Dom for their moving day help!!

Celebrate!!

Yay!! We are officially homeowners!! It is sooooo exciting!! The closing went smoothly and after what felt like about 100 signatures each, we received our keys and garage door openers and officially own 19 BHL in Ashland. We can't wait to celebrate tomorrow with mom and Jim.

Every year we have so much to be thankful for...our friends, family and health but this year is extra special and one we will never forget. Happy Thanksgiving to all!!

Closing Time

Today Chris and I become homeowners!! Yippity do da yippity aye!! Both of us were tossing and turning this morning in anticipation of the closing. It felt like I was a kid again on Christmas morning eager to see what Santa brought me. I don’t think a house would fit under the Christmas tree and unfortunately it wasn’t a gift from Santa but we worked for it and earned it so come this afternoon, we will have our own little slice of the American Dream. Next step….the dreaded move.

Final Weekend!!

It is our final weekend in Charlestown which seems kinda weird. Lots to do and lots to pack!! We are all ready (well, almost) for the closing on Tuesday, just waiting for our final packet of information so we can be sure we bring everything we need to. This week, the home inspection went fantastic and I am sure the painters have been scurrying throughout the house finishing up with all of the touch-ups that we listed on our walk-through punch list. Next week at this time, we will be waiting for the movers to arrive while most likely still being full from Thanksgiving dinner.
