officially homeowners

On July 9th, we closed escrow on our home and picked up keys.  July 9th also happened to be Trav's 30th birthday.  We got a call from our realtor on the way home from our camping trip to notify us that the nightmare of a home buying experience was finally over.  We headed straight to our new home from Santa Barbara.  When we pulled up, our realtor was standing outside and there was a huge banner on the garage that said, "Welcome home Mitchell family...finally".  It was a beautiful sight to see.  Walking around the house with the eyes of a homeowner was truly amazing.  We toasted with some sparkling apple cider and tried to hold back the tears of relief.  We are finally done with this roller-coaster 100 day escrow!  Hallelujah!

This beauty is finally ours!

The backyard now has weeds that are taller than me and the grass has no sign of green in it whatsoever.  Time to get to work!
