I am a proud homeowner! Yippee!

Today I got the keys to my home. I'm so excited!!! My realtor called me at 3:45 pm and told me that the builder left my key in the outlet near the door. She says," Call me when you get the key. I agreed to do so. I arrived at my new address 8955 W. St. John Rd. at 4:30 pm and I looked in the electrical box. NO KEY! I called her and said, "Where is the key again?" She said, "The key is on top of the electrical socket near the front door. It has a plastic cover over it." So I open the the plastic cover and remove the key. As I am still talking with her on the phone, I see a bottle of wine, two wine glasses, a box of crackers, a small tile cutting board with a block of cheese, a cheese knife, a roll of Hillshire Farm summer beef and a card siting on the kitchen counter. I say to Glenda my realtor, "Oh Wow!, The builder left me all the things that I just told you in the prior sentence." I said, "That is so great! I'm so excited!" Glenda replied, "What else did they give you?" So I open the card and there's a $100.00 gift certificate to Home Depot! Then I really lose it. I began to read the card. It's says at the end. Thank you for letting us be a part of your big day. From Glenda and Jim.

I said, "Glenda you tricked me. Thank you so much! I you really didn't have to do that. She said, It was my pleasure. She and her husband gave me my first house warming gift. That just made my day better. I am still smiling!:)

After I finished talking with Glenda, I paused for a moment to take it all in. I started dancing around and singing, " I've got my own house, Do do dee dee dee" Just something silly that I thought of at the moment! I went from room to room inspecting everthing by turning on and off the light switches, testing the faucets and water tempetures, I examined the doors and base boards, and flushed all the toilets. I sat down on the floor in my greatroom, smiled.

Today was a good day!
