We bought a house!

This was our favorite house buying experience yet! The first house was exciting, but being our first time as homeowners, we were pretty nervous. The second and third houses we were a little rushed and just had to find something. The fourth time's the charm! This time we have been living in town for two years and watching the market. Thus we are very comfortable with both the neighborhood and price. Plus we really feel like we got everything we wanted in a house. And the best part, we are in good financial shape. We put 20% down on the house and we still have a sizeable emergency fund. It didn't even bother us to take that big check to closing, because there was nothing else we would have rather done with that money!

We have beautiful, mature trees

Huge porch in front


Daddy bought the boys two go-carts to celebrate



We also bought the empty lot next door, perfect for riding around

Ended up here by hitting the "next blog" feature as explained on blogger today. Just thought I'd say hello and wish you much joy and happiness in your new home!
