We bought a house!



We bought a house today. If you've been following our occasional updates, it's none of the ones you may know about. This was a weird very sudden thing that popped up a few days ago. Not a short-sale, so we put an offer on it, and we got a response back today that it's ours. The house is empty, so we just need to wait for the paperwork stuff and for the previous owner (an investor) to own the house for 90 days before he can officially sell it. That puts us at March 15th 'til it can be ours (Okay, okay, it won't be ours. Lets be honest. That won't happen for years and years).

It's um . . . beautiful. 0.28 acres. Big back yard [Probably too much yard work -- yuck]. 3278 square feet total in the house. Unfinished basement, but its actually well on its way to being finished. The basement is mostly sheet-rocked already.





Yep. We're ridiculously far into debt now. But we're sure excited about this house.

Congrats!!! Sad to see you go but happy for you (and a bit jealous!) at the same time!! ;)

Wow!! It looks so, so nice. I am so happy for you guys. I found that when we bought our house, we felt like a legit family--why is it that debt cements what 5 years hadn't already?

As I am typing this, the picture froze on the one of the kitchen/dining room, and I how rediculously low that light fixture is hanging. Don't clock yourselves when you move in! :)

Wow! It looks FANTASTIC! I love it! Congratulations! It's in Saratoga Springs, right? How close to Chad and Erica?

Love it love it! Very nice. I agree with you on the shelves... although we have a tub and I thought the same thing at first, but now I'm happy to have it! It's a fun little luxury on stressful days.

Yay! Even though it's no fun to be so far in debt, it is fun to have your very own place to organize and decorate and customize! Congrats!
