fleaThe wire is showing as sent from Vanguard's web site; we're just waiting on a phone call from the lawyer to confirm they got it. We signed everything and they gave us keys at 9.
So we're in the house, attempting to get the children to nap on aerobeds. Well, mr. flea is doing that; I am sitting in my underwear in the living room poaching a neighbor's incredibly slow unprotected wifi.
It's a really nice house. At the walkthrough yesterday we met two neighbors. They both seemed incredibly pleased to see who had bought the house, and one of them had had dinner with the twins' grandmother the previous night, and knows our realtor. (In sad neighbor news, our lovely banker is moving to Cary; her husband is a "turf specialist" and maintains the sacred football field, and today had to get up early to build a coffin for the UGA bulldog, who died over the weekend. He'll be working for the soccer stadium and USA Baseball come next month. What an odd career! Anyway, we were looking forward to knowing them as friends, but I guess we will just have to pass on our NC tips instead.)
It's pretty nice. We're planning to go see Wall-E after the naps (which MUST happen; there is tiredness and whining), and then maybe picnic dinner in the house and a family bubble bath in the enormous jacuzzi tub. Tomorrow we register for school and drive home, stopping in Hickory to look at couches.
