One Year Ago - April 30, 2009

• I left work early that day.
• Stopped at the bank to break into my retirement IRA (cause first time home buyers can).
• I wired the largest amount of money we've ever had in a bank account to our attorney. (I'll never be able to save that much again).
• We drove down to the house that was to be ours and stood around the kitchen counter signing the closing paperwork. 
• Then we moved in a kitchen table and chairs to finish signing the paperwork. 
• Now a year later the house looks much better and I've learned to accept that just about every penny will be spent on the house, until of course we find something else to spend our money on.  

Home Sweet Home.
