And So IT Begins!!!!

So this weekend the bid we put on a house (condo) got accepted! YAY :-)


The condo is a really cute two-story plus basement duplex (side-by-side) place! It is also in ready to move in condition so it will just need a good cleaning and then some cosmetic surgery over time (like take out the wall-paper that covers every inch of the place - haha). But that will come in time and is the fun stuff - I already am picking out colors of paint!!!! This is such a cute starter home for us - we love it!


So begins the process of buying a house! We are meeting with our bank this week to finish the approval process! We were already pre-approved so hopefully this will go smoothly! Then in the next couple weeks we will meet with a home inspector, a lawyer and misc. people and pending any unseen problems we are scheduled to close on November 30! YIPPIE! This timing couldn't work out better for us as we will be closing at the end of the month and can start moving in over the next couple weeks (we are keeping our apartment through december). So by Christmas we will be transitioned into our new home!!!!

We also started packing this weekend and we will continue moving things to our storage unit so we can be fairly well packed by the end of the month! I also like the feeling of going through boxes and stuff that haven't been touched in sometime and remeniscing over those items and or throwing out old items! It feels good to start fresh and clean out the old clutter in our lives! This entire process is great, exciting, a little nerve racking and just plain FUN!!! I will be sure to update you as we continue this exciting time and any suggestions to make this transition smoother will be greatly accepted and appreciated!!!!


P.S. Our cats are very excited as well! Last night they were helping us pack by first inspecting all the empty boxes for space, comfort and weight restrictions! They are such helpful kitty's ;-)



Thank you C. for everything! You have made this very easy for us!
