Today we had the closing for our first home! The settlement was so fast and easy! I was expecting it to take hours and to find out that we were missing documents or have some other misfortune happen. Nope! It was silky smooth. We don't have to move out of our apartment until the end of July so we are trying to get some painting done before then. We were welcomed into our new home by 99 degree heat! During our final walk-through our realtor turned on our heat to make sure it still worked, and not one of us remembered to turn it off!!! We spent most of the day just trying to cool the house down. Ooooof. At least we know that our house can get nice and toasty!
Day one's agenda included being pleasantly surprised at how easy and fun it was to remove our wallpaper. Then being unpleasantly surprised at how long it takes to remove the wallpaper paste. And finally, deciding to keep up the rest of the wallpaper and just paint over it (we're bad, I know). In my head we were going to also prime all three bedrooms. No no no, silly Laura. We only haphazardly almost finished one before we were too exhausted and giddy from paint fumes to go on. But on the bright side we found a nice hardwood floor under the carpet in one room which was a nice surprise!

You may think the after picture looks much worse. I agree! But just wait until it's all clean and painted! If we ever get the wallpaper paste off!
