We are happy to announce that we are now proud homeowners!!! The process started end of May where we began looking at houses. We found this one ... actually, our realtor suggested this one, in the town where we are currently, but it was at the high end of our budget. But, it was the most updated and move-in ready among the houses we looked at, plus it has nice curb appeal, a good sized backyard with deck and pool! Not a big one coz it's an above-ground pool but good enough for wading and just soaking when it's hot. It's the right size for Finn (^_^) It also has enough living space for us, and a finished basement which will be our game room (woohoo!!!). So anyway, we made an offer on my birthday and lucky us, it got accepted after haggling a bit ... neat birthday present right? From then, there were a lot of things that had to be done and prepared and just this Monday (August 25) was our closing ... we got the keys!!! We immediately moved some stuff in, bought new knobs to replace the front and side door knobs, and slept there that night on the borrowed airbeds. Finn and I have been going back and forth bringing stuff in during the day so that on Saturday, the only things to be moved would be the furniture and other heavy boxed items. Today, Sears came by to clean the air vents and was there for about 2 hours. Tomorrow, I'm expecting our dining table to be delivered. Right now, I'm still boxing stuff to be brought back there later. So I guess I have to go back to packing (the only thing I don't like about moving =P)
Great News!
