So we bought a house.
Whew.
Unlike last time when I was sending out the link to the house to pretty much everyone in my contacts, this time we kept it on a need to know basis.
Which means we had to tell my mom. Can't move without Nana coming out to watch baby. Which then means we had to tell the other parents because it's just wrong to tell one set and not the other.
Other than that, it was a fairly guarded secret.
Fewer people to feel sorry for us if we lost the house this time.
Thankfully, however, this purchase has gone ridiculously smooth. We agreed on a price quickly. Inspection was excellent. They fixed the minor stuff that fell short of excellent. And God willing, we close next week.
Undoubtedly, this week will be the longest in history.
My MIL asked me Monday night if I'd decorated the entire thing in my head already.
Um...of course.
Pinterest has been helpful too. Although I suspect Chris would challenge the word "helpful" and go with "expensive" or "time-consuming" or maybe even "world's biggest waste of time". That's what he's always called Facebook. So congratulations Facebook! You have graduated and Pinterest is now the proud owner of that title.
Anyway, I'm about to go insane waiting to get in there and start decorating. Of course, I will have totally forgotten all the stuff I own even though it's only been in storage for two and half months. I feel fairly confident I remember all the large furniture pieces but that's all I'm willing to commit to.
After over 60 houses, we finally were able to admit we could have the space or the lot but not the space and the lot. We went with space. The good news is it will likely take Chris MAX thirty minutes to mow the lawn. And that's if he stops to talk with the neighbors. And like all neighborhoods up here in Upper Middle Class Nirvana, there's a playground and walking trails.
SIDE NOTE: I have so much to say about our new little world up here but I haven't decided if I want to put it out there for all the Internet to see.
So we are excited about moving out of our 683 square feet and into space for Pumpkin to run around. Fire up for lots of pictures as I decorate. I have oodles of Pins to get through!

Yay, I'm so excited for you guys. I'm also eagerly waiting to hear what you have to say about the area y'all are living in.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new crib! Its gorgeous! We'll have to take the babies out for a walk on the trails!
ReplyDeleteUm and I'd like to know what the world there is like...looks like that might be our future as well in 2-3 yrs
I realized when I saw your FB comment that I had fallen behind in reading blog posts. So very exciting. I would so much like to see you in your new home and hear all about what God's been doing in you and for you. So very happy that you have a forever home! Can't wait to see it.
