Okay. Last week it was going to the bank, today to the Notary. We had to have a translator there for my benefit. They went over the contract and spelled everything out in detail. Then they made the changes and we went before the lawyer and signed the document. It hasn't sunk in yet. A friend of ours said you are REALLY married when you buy a house together. One more cord that binds us together. Then they asked about a will & testament. Scary. This legal things just keep growing. Now I have to think about dying and estate etc. I am not ready for that!
I am not going to get too nervous or excited about this house until we know
when we can move in. Then it will be the stress of moving. It will be so nice to be settled once everything is unpacked. In the mean time I have a lot to plan and prepare. I need to ask around for boxes, dejunk further (I only want to take what we use and need not all my extra junk). We need to buy some appliances (washer/dryer/microwave) and a woodburning stove. Of course I want everything to be nice from the beginning but my husband reminds me that we can live there without doing anything if we need to. I just want my "vision" to be realized.
There are a lot of other thoughts to write, but I am still in a state of shock, so more processing to come.

We live in an apartment Patrice had before we got married and we were thinking about selling it and buying something else, but for now this will do and we have these projects for renovations that make me very excited. Good luck!
