was it worth it?

HELL YA! We have a HOUSE baby! We have signed ourselves away to a gorgeous property in Chino Hills: 4-bedroom with a loft, 3-car garage (mandatory for the Mr.), granite countertops, upgraded lighting, shutters, crown molding...WOOHOO! We agonized over this house for the longest, and after all the waiting, headaches, and paperwork, the deal is done and we have a place to call our own. This is HUGE! I'm so excited! Today we started our heavy duty cleaning...we were each armed with a steam machine, and we attacked the first floor. Next weekend, the second floor gets to endure our cleaning frenzy. We changed most of the light bulbs to more energy-efficient ones (hey, now that we're footing the bill, we gotta do this right!), we changed the batteries to all the smoke detectors...and we did a thorough vacuuming of cobwebs. This is AWESOME! I've never been this enthusiastic about CLEANING before...hehe, I guess it really is different when it's YOURS. ;-)
