We did it! We closed on our house and are now officially members of the H.O.C. - Home Owner's Club. 
Our fabulous realtor asked at closing when we were moving in, and I promptly replied – “Tonight!”. Who could stand to wait any longer?
To be a foreclosure – the house is in pretty immaculate condition.
Tasks accomplished tonight:
- Vacuum entire house
- Change Door Locks (from Freddie Mac’s master key)
- Assemble Bed
- 2nd
- Replace all 11 batteries for Smoke Detectors (insane amount of beeping)
I met a neighbor, who happens to be 8, and he was kind enough to inform me “that beeping noise is soooo loud; it’s been going on since before they left”. Duly noted and fixed!
Sidenote: The DH was slightly disappointed to learn, unlike on HGTV, they do not hand you keys at closing. You then must wait an additional 3 hours while they procure the funds. Definitely more anti-climatic then we were prepared for.
Blessings and Hugs,
