We did it! I took on the biggest debt of my life (next to marrying Tim) today. The house is ours and it is beautiful. The floors are gorgeous, the back yard spacious and green, the seemingly unlimited amounts of space...and the work we have to do here in Chicago tonight to be ready for tomorrow morning so I can live in it.

Contrary to what everyone said we didn't have to sign that many papers. The whole process took 40 minutes.

Speaking of marrying Tim though, tomorrow is our fifth year anniversary. Here is hoping for fifty more (at least).
