Our House

If all goes well, on May 2nd Ron and I will be first-time home buyers.  It has been a long process, but definitely worth it!  We looked at about 30 houses in person and hundreds online before we found the one. Much like shopping for a wedding dress my realtor told me that we would know when it was right and that we would be ready to put in an offer.  I didn't think it would happen like that.  I figured we will find something, think about it, take a few days and then make an offer.


We walked into this house and I never wanted to leave.  I would have called up the movers on the spot and  told them to bring all of our stuff over.  I fell so in love with the house that I knew I had to have it and so Ron and I put an offer in that day and it was accepted the next day.


So, here is our new home (so long as all goes well with the loan people).  I already have 10 boxes packed because I am so excited to get in there!
