I closed on my forever house on Dec 11 and moved in on Dec 19, and luckily had the help of a good friend from Portland, OR come down and spend the first night with me and my 3 furball kids and help me turn my empty house with 30 - year - old
vertical blinds that didn't work on some windows and nothing on others and the little bit of furniture I brought with me
into a warm and welcoming home by Christmas day.
