The papers are all signed!

WOOO! We're making awesome progress! It's still a little bit unreal to me, but we just signed all our paperwork, and once it's registered with the county on Monday, Julie and I will be the proud new homeowners!

Right now, the current plan is for me to load up a crockpot and some staples in my car on Monday. Monday afternoon when our realtor gives us the keys, I'm going to head over and start the inagural pot of red beans cooking on OUR kitchen. There will still be a lot of things we need to do, but the current plan is that once we have the keys, I'm going to rent a carpet cleaner and after work on Tuesday, and Julie and I will work on cleaning the main areas. I think we'll plan on staying, but we haven't decided quite yet. We have the packers coming over on the 15th and then the movers are showing up on the 16th.

I think that I might take the kittens there on Tuesday and get them set up in a quiet and isolated room. Even if Julie and I decide to sleep in the apartment more, I would rather them get a good safe feeling about the home long before the movers show up to drop stuff off. I will have to get a re-fill of the pills for our two older kittens, but I think they will weather the move better than my last one.

The only thing that I'm still pondering is how to arrange the appliances. I am thinking about going there this afternoon and signing all the paperwork and scheduling them to arrive on either Wednesday or Thursday evening. I have some flexibility in my schedule, but I don't want to be too crazy about anything.

I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!
