Buying a home

The time has come for us to finally buy a home. It has been an absolute whirlwind. I believe it was December 7 when we went to an open house to check out a house we have been eyeing for a year. They originally wanted what we felt was too much for the house but a few weeks ago they dropped the price to a more manageable amount.

We went with the intent of just taking a look at the house. We really weren't in a buying mode, or mood. Ha. After one look at the house we thought, we HAVE to try to get this house.

Here's a picture of the house...

The house is by no means a beauty on the outside but it is so exciting on the inside.

4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a full finished basement and enough storage for 3 families! There are things to fix up, like the decor in this kitchen...

...but the house is clean as a whistle, tight as a drum and absolutely ready to move into. I will even have my own dedicated craft room.

So here we are, on the road to home ownership. In a way this helter skelter pace is best for us as if we had time to sit and ponder it we would inevitably decide it's too much or too something and not go through with it. In a sense we were jolted out of our apathy and I think that's a good thing.

Now you know what our Christmas gift is to each other. Merry Christmas to all!
