We Bought a House!!!

It's OFFICIAL.... Todd and I are now for the first time ever home owners! How exciting!!! We are thrilled and are really eager to begin moving in. We just closed on it today! What a beautiful day it was to close on it too... PLUS it's Todd's Birthday! What a great gift! We both were all smiles from ear to ear. After we closed on it, we went over and took photos and video taped it so that we would have photos/video kind of "before and after." We plan to do some changes.








The house was built in 1959 and the original owners were living there up until December when they went to visit their daughter in Minnesota and she talked them into staying there. Soooo... their son, Mark, and daughter in law, Natasha, were selling it for them. They were such a wonderful couple to work with. Both were sooo sweet and they even had flowers sent to us for when we got to the house we would get them.

But the house is a great home and one that we can "grow" into. It's 4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, 1620 sqft., 2 car garage. It's definitely going to have some empty rooms in it for awhile, but as time goes by it will be filled. I added just a couple photos, there's so much more to the house. The photo with just Todd, he's standing next to a tree called a "Harry Walkers Widdlestick" or something on those lines... I can never remember the name, but I guess that tree and the Japanese Maple in front are worth between $2,000-$3,000. Crazy eh?! But they are beautiful!

I will keep everyone updated on the house. It's all new and exciting so I'm sure we'll have tons to keep everyone up on.

Love you all!!
