It's ours--happy anniversary!

On Friday we closed on the house. I was able to attend the walkthrough with Mark and the realtor, and we were very impressed with how little was left in the house. The tenant did an excellent job clearing it out. We did/do have a few things left over--a stove, a fridge in the basement, a small kitchen table (also in the basement) and various other odds and ends. We spent the weekend at Mark's base ball festival and all of our spare time cleaning the house.

Yesterday, Lowe's was supposed to deliver the new fridge and stove between 8am and noon. They showed up at 12:40p, and then there was a huge dent in the stove so Mark sent it back. Now we have no stove in the new house and no idea when it will be arriving. *sigh* But the fridge looks great! I cleaned the floor where the old stove and fridge were last night. That was very disgusting.

On Sunday, we had our last dinner with Scott and Heather. We swapped items we had borrowed from each other and we took a bunch of things they were getting rid of--cleaning supplies (we certainly need them!), clothes for the clothing drive this weekend, wood scraps, etc. They leave today for Vegas and there's a chance we might get to see them on their way out since they will pass right by where I work. This next post is a great opportunity for them but we really will miss having them around. On the up side, flights from St Louis to Vegas can be had for pretty cheap! :)
