One big box of surprises...

So closing day is tomorrow. We went by earlier this week and saw the foundation work complete, added some top soil, and watched some construction guy haul off all the yucky dirt and cement on our back driveway.

We also peeked in the windows and saw no major cracks or anything from the foundation work and our Realtor's walk through confirmed the same. The sellers movers have come, her maid has come, the yard guys have come for the last time (on her bill at least) and the house sits in wait for us.

Because we've purchased a few items from the seller those things remain in the house, but we were told on Saturday that there would be an additional "surprise" for us. Then, we got an email this week saying she left "more than one surprise". Some surprises we know we're getting are awesome, like the extra speakers for the surround sound in the livingroom.... others are questionable, like the 'disco pillow' we saw when we went to her garage sale last Saturday.

I guess for now all we can do is wait until tomorrow night when we go to our new home to evaluate whether or not which of these surprises are 'the good kind' - she has promised it's not her standard size Poodle Emmy or Tess the Schnauzer. Any and all surprises aside, we are SO very excited about our new home.
