Remember that song? It was on NOW volume 2. I know because it was one of the first CDs I ever owned. But I digress.

After 46 signatures (no joke, I kept tally), 23 days from offer letter to closing paperwork, and an hour at the title person’s office, we are officially HOMEOWNERS!

We walked into the townhouse yesterday after closing and it felt weird- the only other times we’d been to the house were with other people- our realtor, a contractor, etc. This time it was jut us, and this time we didn’t need anyone else to key in for us. It was weird. I guess eventually we’ll get used to the feeling of not being on a January-December lease, that we won’t have to move until we want to.

The rest of this week will be devoted to packing, moving, and cleaning… and trying not scuff up our walls & furniture in the process! Matt & I are so grateful to you guys for being excited with us, celebrations are always more fun when you have friends and family to share the joy with.

I’m off to go begin the process of packing my office- wish me luck! And feel free to follow along on IG (@abbygracephoto) with the hashtag #springmannhousetohome- I’m not gifted in the interior design department, but I do love me a good can of spray paint to freshen up an existing piece of furniture!
