We officially sold our house and bought our new one earlier today. Papers are signed and money is transferred! Wahoo!!!! I had forgotten how much paperwork and hand strength a closing required. I learned that rather than getting better with my signature the more I sign it, the worse it becomes. I seriously felt like my hand had a mind of it's own after we were finished.
It still doesn't feel real that we own a new house. We're still living out of boxes and I have yet to make it my own, which I guess could be part of it, but regardless it is still so fun to wake up in this house each and every morning. I have already sought out my favorite part of the house, which is the bay window in the living room that overlooks the entire city. The view from this window is absolutely gorgeous! We are able to watch the sun go down and see the weather coming in. Right now all I can see is rain, but on most days you can clearly see the entire valley. Unfortunately, my kids also love this spot and I have quickly learned that I need to find a close and convenient spot for the Windex, since cleaning off their grimy little hand prints will become a nightly chore. :)
My parents are currently on their way to Missoula to see our house for the first time. I'm so excited to see them...it feels like it's been forever but in reality it's probably only been a few months. Cale is really excited to see them, too, which means he is currently screaming in his bed and refusing to take a nap. Oh, children.
The weather forecast is full of clouds and rain this weekend, which I suppose should be expected of a Memorial Day weekend in Montana. I think we'll spend most of it indoors and perhaps I can get my mom to help me finish unpacking! :)
I hope everyone has a terrific weekend!!!

Yeay for your new house and a view of the city.
My goodness.....had I known you were thinking of doing more unpacking while we were there I would have had that done in about 2 hours. Actually, I was aching to help but didn't want to be a "pain in the a--".........We love your new house, you all deserve your new house and I can't wait to see what it looks like when you can finally spread out and "do your thing"....I'm a real good painter if you feel like painting something...I'll come in a heart beat. I'll come over just help move the couch...whatever !!! Love ya
