A New Dwelling

Realizing we would need more space with the impending birth of our daughter, we started our house hunt last summer. When we got word of possible instability at Matt's work, we decided it was best to end our search without buying anything. Losing his job did not happen. So with this new year came a new search for a bigger place. We looked at around 15 houses this time before finding a few we really liked. Taking a second look at them with the help of my family, we made an offer on one not too far from our apartment. After a couple counter-offers, we got it and we are beyond excited! Whats funny is that its on the same street that we currently live on, just at the other end. We are set to close at the end of March, but have lots to do between now and then. The inspection is done and went well. Next step, finish financing and get the appraisal. Then we wait. Meanwhile, I'm making lists of what I want to do in the house, where furniture should go, what colors to paint the few rooms that need new coats, and what we need to buy for it. Ahhh! I can't wait to move in and make that house a home!
