A house!
That's right. We are giving up being nomads & squatters. We have bought a house. We put the offer in a few weeks ago & should hopefully close on the 15th. We are actually a few months ahead of schedule but life just kind of guides you sometimes. (Well, I hope it was guiding me & I just wasn't pushing it!) It is the neighborhood Ballantrae, which offers a golf course, swim, playground & walking trails. It seemed like a great neighborhood to raise a family. Our original plan was to build (but building evidently is WAY more expensive then picking out a new house that the builder had already built!) The builder was offering a great price on a new spec house, he had built some neat features like an outdoor kitchen and when the interest rates on existing homes dropped below 4%, we felt like the decision was right. We made an offer (with a few requests) and the builder accepted. Yahoo! We are having them do a few things like continue the hardwoods into the master bedroom & replace the electric range with a gas one. But we are very happy with the house & think that it will be great for our family. So far, the experience has been great and everyone we have worked with have been awesome. But, I've gone through this enough times to know that lots of things can happen before a closing! So once we have successfully closed, I'll list out all of the different people & companies we've used. I love giving praise (or complaints!). Hopefully these last 2 weeks will go as great as the first 2 weeks went!
