Yeah!

We officially own our first house! On January 23rd, only 15 days late, escrow closed on our house. We have spent the last 6 days, and the next 2 or so, painting every wall and ceiling in the house, ripping out carpet, laying wood floors, having carpet laid, cleaning and moving boxes. I'll post pictures as soon as everything is done... It won't be long now!

We're Buying a House!

Jake and I found the house of our dreams a few weeks ago. We were praying for some guidance about whether we should buy a house, or maybe some property, or not do anything at all yet. Two days later, we found a house online and fell in love. We drove by it and decided it was for us. After we found out it was bank-owned and there were no offers, we decided to wait it out and see if it was "meant to be." Well, the bank said they would pay closing costs, we got money for our down payment, and they dropped the price $13,000 and so we decided we should make an offer. Well, the bank accepted it and escrow closes Jan 8th. It is on 2 acres, so we can have the horses living with us, it is 2021 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 2 bath, 3 car garage, and fully landscaped with grass front and back. It is amazing! We are going to replace all the floors and paint every room. I'll keep you posted with progress.
