Our House (hopefully)

We have spent all week looking at houses, and found one that we love, and it had just been reduced $15,000 in price. It is about 2360 square feet, and has three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms upstairs and a family room finished in the basement. The laundry room is in the basement, we would just have to finish 2 bedrooms and a bathroom for the basement to be finished. It is nice because the laundry room was supposed to be upstairs but the people who had it built wanted it in the basement, so the space upstairs where it was supposed to be was turned into 2 closets, which is good because we need a lot of space for our junk! It also has air conditioning which is nice because most houses and apartments up here don't have that. We had some problems finding a lender that would give us the loan, I thought that when a bank pre approved you that it meant they would give you the loan, apparently I know nothing about buying a house! Anyways the big problem was that Aaron has only been at his job a year and most places said they wouldn't unless he was there 18 months or more. So long story short we found a bank that will do it, and they already started writing our loan yesterday, so as long as nothing else goes wrong we will be moving into our new house on April 13th!!!!


We are glad that the people who lived here already put in grass and sprinklers in front and back. The backyard is really big and only needs a fence put up on the left side (the houses here have no fences when they are built and sold so we are lucky to find one that almost has the whole backyard fenced in). A church building and parking lot is actually our backyard neighbors so we can just hop the fence to get to church!!We love that the kitchen has black appliances, and that the cabinets are darker than the other houses that we looked at. You can't see the floor but it is a dark wood floor. This is the family room in the basement, it looks kinda small but ...This is the other side of the room. So we can put a tv and couch on the other side and all of Cambria's toys on this side. It is a big room, just kinda funny shaped. We didn't take pictures of the other side of the basement because it is just unfinished and still has the owners stuff in it, but the door here leads to a big laundry and storage room.This doorway goes into the kitchen so you can see a little bit of the wood floor in there. It is so nice. Where Aaron is standing to take the picture is a living room and the front door, which we probably won't have anything in for a while.Here is the second bathroom. Aaron didn't take a picture of the master bathroom (it is a little bigger) and I didn't post pictures of the rooms because they just look like rooms. But you get the idea!! We are so excited!!!!!!!!!!
