Um...we have a house...???

No, really!

I think I'm just saying it that way because I'm still in a bit of disbelief about the whole thing. After eight months of searching, to actually have an accepted offer (and for it to happen so quickly too), just seems surreal.

But yes! It's official! We have a house!





And not just any house. A beautiful, new, updated, move-in ready house. We love it. Love love LOVE it. And it has all these features that we had previously been looking for, but were never able to find. It's got cathedral ceilings in the front room...









...tons of decorative nooks, a huge kitchen, a sunken family room, a great yard for the puppies, and of course, room for my piano!  =]











It's 1700 square feet, three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and was built in 1999. It was recently professionally painted and re-carpeted and had new fixtures put in.

We love that there's not one thing we need to do before we move in, but that there's room for us to do some upgrades later on if we so choose, like landscaping and such.

The contracts are in, I gave up the earnest money yesterday, and the home inspection is happening this morning. And we're closing by the end of the month. Meaning that, in less than four weeks, we'll be homeowners!

We can't believe the turn this has taken, but we're so excited! The house feels so comfy and just right for us, and we can't wait to move in!
