Exactly one month ago I wrote a blog about closed doors and open windows.  Well that open window I mentioned?  It's closing.

In fact, Friday afternoon, it closes officially, and we will walk away with the keys to our own (first!) house.

I am thrilled.  I sat on the couch tonight, looking around our current apartment with such excitement.  It hasn't been a bad place to live, and honestly was exactly what we needed.  Close to the hospital, close to good friends, and priced nicely.  But I can hardly wait to move.

Saturday is the big day, moving day.  Normally I despise moving.  Not this time.  Knowing we are moving to our own house, with our own yard is very cool.  There are certainly issues with the house, some things we will want to update and change.   But it will be ours.  We can do what we want.  We can play our piano.  And I promise, the very first time I am home alone, I will play something really loud (eg. Opeth, Devin Townsend, Fear Factory) and not feel bad.  For years now the only place I have been able to really listen to music loud has been my car.

Now, I can crank it up in my home.  Sweet.
