It's official today! We're the happy owners of 15 Pats Circle in Eagle, Colorado (also known as Mayberry as Nathan affectionately calls it). It seems as though the journey has been a long, arduous one at times, but it's actually been less than 5 weeks.

We decided to bring Logan along for the closing since he's been a part of this journey including looking at homes, seeing Sarah our mortgage broker and now the closing. I told him that he'd be the recipient of the key. He was very pleased to accept the keys from Karen of Land and Title Company.

Here are some video of Logan opening the front door to the house. You may hear the voice of our new neighbor introducing himself. We learned that nearly every house on Pat Circle has kids. I would really like for Logan to have a few friends from the immediate area.

The closing on the Maloit Park house will hopefully take place on February 1st. The agreement is that we'll rent from the new owner for 3 months. This will satisfy our need to remain in Minturn until Logan has finished his 3rd and final year at Pooh Corner. It too will solidify the selling of the house. Meanwhile, the person purchasing the house wants to be certain that the house won't be sold to another party before he's able to move in until June.
