To celebrate the closing on, and soon the opening of, Casa de Omar. Hooray!

(Really, I just wanted to beat AB and PG to starting this thread.)

I just got done reading that! YAAAAAAY Omar! Congratulations on becoming the Master of your very own Estate! Welcome to the exciting world of home ownership!

God did I relate to the stress you went through with that and your new job. I closed on my first house, took my last finals of my college career (graduated), and got my first grown-people job -- all in the same week. Yeah, it was a Certified Laff Riot. But -- congratulations! The bureaucracy is over, and that's ALWAYS good!

Your sellers sound profoundly cool, Omar. That's so nice of them to be leaving you BOOKS and shit! Stuff to make your move easier and more enjoyable! Very nice.

Congratulations Omar! Such a cool step. And a new job too. Stress much? Our seller was cool. He left us a map of where the nearest greocery store was, the name of the good pizza and chinese places and a vanilla candle for the mantle. awwww! All the best in your new adventures.

Thank you all. I really appreciate it. I'm all moved in, and nothing has blown up yet, so I think I'm in good shape.

You're all invited to the housewarming.
