Double Graduation
This month we celebrated two graduations, Vina's Bachelor's Degree from UCSD and a belated celebration of Aai's high school graduation (coincidentally, at UCSD too). It actually came about as we were buying balloons and prepping for Vina's graduation -- we thought it would be nice (funny) to surprise Aai with her own cap and balloons while we wait for Vina's ceremony to end.
We didn't want to detract any attention on Vina's special day so we waited patiently for her to walk and then turned our attention to Aai. She had no idea that she had been holding her own graduation balloons all day (High School Musical & a green 2009 balloon). After the giggly surprise, we all gathered to take some pictures, being careful not to have the UCSD backdrop in the background.
The infamous "Price Cut" balloon my sisters got for free at Albertsons.
You would have thought the High School Musical balloon made it obvious...
And then finally after a long wait, Vina came out and it was time for more pictures.

And finally, the family picture.
Close of escrow!
Today we had our final inspection going through all of the items we marked in the first inspection. However, they took down all of our pieces of tape as they fixed everything so we couldn't even remember everything that was done.
After ensuring that all of the down payment moneys went through and all of the title documents were properly filed, we finally got our keys at the end of the day.

Welcome home!
Today was our first inspection on our home. We met with Larry, our Lennar representative, and went through everything inside and outside of the house with him for about 4 hours. There are so many things that I've never even thought about that we are now responsible for knowing, such as:
- How to turn off water in an emergency
- How to tell if your A/C condenser is leaking
- What to do when an electrical outlet goes out
- What GFCI means
- Where does all that sprinkler water go?
- How to make hot water hotter
- The true troubles of "water-saving toilets"
- Where does all the rain water go?
- How to fix the springs on the windows
- Granite and marble need sealant
- When and how often should you water grass
