Last rent check!

Today, we wrote our last rent check ever! It feels awesome! We also had our final walk through of the new house. Although the roof is still being replaced, everything looks great! The sellers still have quite a bit of packing to do before they move to Ohio on Saturday! Tomorrow we close on the house and we can finally move starting on Sunday. Good thing these people are moving so far away… they are leaving all the curtains up in the house, as well as a stand up freezer in the garage. Free stuff = awesome!
 
I wonder what is appropriate nowadays for new neighbors coming into the neighborhood. Basket of muffins at the front door with a note? Personal knock on the door and tour of the house? Block party? All we know is… one of our driveway neighbors has a ski boat parked in his driveway… so we’re going to try to become really good friends with them! How soon do you start giving away spare keys? Or introduce them to the dog? Or give them our cell phone numbers? I mean what if Ranger got out of the backyard or the house was on fire or something? How soon should I elect Patrick for a position on the home owners association?
 
You should see our list of things to buy at Lowe’s this weekend. We are going to keep them in business, for sure.
