Went by the house today at lunch, it's still as charming as it was when we were there last. And the garbage service even dropped off new containers so we can recycle in style. I haven't been jumping for joy about it because getting it was such a pain in the ass, I guess I can hardly believe that it's already happened. We were outbid (by a lot) 4 times before we got it, each bid was fraught with disappointment so after a while, we stopped getting our hopes up. Somehow, when we saw our house, I knew it would work out but there wasn't the great emotional build up that you might expect.

I am, however, extremely glad that we found a freestanding house, complete with garage and a yard.
