Closed, finally!

We closed on our house yesterday.  Whew.  We chose the house that we'd loved way back in September.  After seeing all the other houses recently we would have regretted not going with our initial choice.  There are things I don't like about it (small family room & lot), but there are many more good things that I do like (huge kitchen, beautiful flooring, nice neighborhood, master on main. etc.).

We were excited, nervous, & a bit scared to see our new mortgage payment (yikes!).  Todd was a little sad to not buy a house in Alpine, he's ALWAYS wanted to live there.  My feelings right now on Alpine is that it's pricey, prestigious, & very inconvenient to anywhere else we need to be.  Also, the house we somewhat liked there was not quite right for us.  I am happy with American Fork which is much closer to everything (except the mountains, that's what Todd does not like).  

We won't move for a while.  We've got some appliances to buy & blinds to have installed & I just don't want to move in the dead of winter.
