SS: Escrow was late by a week, and we had to juggle our move around. The Chinese food delivery guy was 2 hours late & they only offered "free egg rolls next time" as compensation. And we discovered that our fireplace & washing machine are really really loud. But, these are nothing compared to the NSS!
NSS: In an amazing act of generosity, 9 of Graf's co-workers volunteered (we didn't ask, they just showed up) to help us move on their lunch hour. So, yesterday we had this mini-army of guys showing up, and before we knew it, our apartment was almost empty! They did in 3 hours what we'd figured was going to take us 4 days by ourselves. These weren't even co-workers who were close friends - most of them I'd never met! They just were all inspired to help, and we were just blown away by the act. YAY for awesome people!
NSS: Last night, we slept in our condo for the first time. We took a bath in a tub that we owned, and didn't run out of hot water. We ran our first load of laundry that didn't require digging up all the quarters we could find. I made cookies in our kitchen, and didn't run out of counter space. We got to leave this morning w/o coordinating who was behind who (previously we had tandem parking, now it's side-by-side). And oh yeah, did I mention, we're now first time home-owners?!?!?!? YAY!!!!!!!!!!
:D
