Heading into Michigan

I'm a little due on my blog... so sorry. :)

I spent the week in Ypsilanti, MI while working on my closing for my new house and trying to rest for the weekend to come. I had the truck, so I couldn't really go anywhere.

I did it! I closed on my first home, July 8th, on my little sister's birthday. Almost a week later than it supposed to close, but better late than never. My mother and realtor called me up jingling the keys into the phone. Very exciting! Now I just can't wait to get there and live in it for a few days. And, perhaps, the rest of my life.

I went on a lovely nature walk while waiting out this whole fiasco, and saw beautiful swans and little ducks swimming around a thickly overgrown pond. Very peaceful and green. Just what I needed.

After meeting a few people at the hotel, who were thrilled to get some Kashi coupons for their wives, I headed to Plymouth for the Art Festival.

The event went well, but slower than I thought it would, because I was waiting to head out to my new home, of course. I hopped onto a plane Sunday night, arriving late in Boston, jumped into a rental car, and arrived at my new home at midnight on Sunday. I had to sneak to the back and reach into a bin filled with spiders where my mother left the keys for me. And I entered into a new era of my life...
