Day 208 - March 28th

Closing day finally arrived!  We closed Friday, March 25th and started the move then, finishing up today.  Hence the reason for no updates in the past several days.  I promise to take pictures and post them soon.

Thank you for following along with us in our journey!  We do hope you will come visit us soon to see the house!

All I can say is we are finally "Home sweet home." :)
