This afternoon we closed on a townhouse. We have a home and we are all back together again. It’s been a long, awful year, but now it’s all coming together. We’re home for the first time in months.

It’s out near Reston Virginia and it’s a 3 level place with a garage, a deck out back, a fireplace, and ceiling fans.

We drove out there tonight to drop off some things. Putting the key in the lock for the first time was such a thrill. We just stood in the living room and looked at each other and said “We own this.”

What a day!
