House Purchasing

We are a few steps closer to owning our own place. The seller accepted our offer on Friday along with some 'extras'.

Since then we have driven by the place and through the neighborhood oh at least 5x to make sure we're lovin the neighborhood and there are no crazy neighbors. So far so good. We even took Max on walk through the neighborhood and he gave quite a few yards/mailbox posts/trees his seal of approval.

This morning we had the home inspection and septic tank pumped and inspected. Nothing too crazy here. A few minor fixes such as some rotting siding, one of the sinks in the master bath not working and one of the ovens not heating up properly. Oh and some minor termite damage. We'll get it all worked out/fixed up in no time.

We'll close on the house June 25 if everything else goes smoothly.

Here are some of the highlights of the house: Downstairs has all hardwood floors- kitchen, breakfast area, family room, front office, foyer, dining room, butlers pantry, half bath, mudroom, laundry room. Basement is finished with the exception of one room. Upstairs has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with a roomy roomy master closet. Still not sure where Justin's clothes will go, haha.

My favorite parts of the house: 1 acre of nicely landscaped, mature-treed lawn, super open and air-y downstairs and lots of nice windows symmetrically placed (equalling lots and lots of sunshine!). Please note that at this point both Justin and I claim to love mowing. We'll see how this changes over the next few summers.

Mostly though we're really looking forward to having the space in and out to have friends and family over.

We'll keep you posted- oh yeah and only 6 weeks until the wedding!
