We may have just bought our first home!!!


When Jordan and I first saw this home we really liked it, quickly put in an offer and then after a lot of paper work and waiting we were told that we were out bid by two other cash offers and that there was no way our offer would be accepted.

We sadly let go of the idea that we had any chance of getting the home, decided to take Memorial day weekend off from looking at homes and then start up again.  Tuesday morning we found another home, called our real estate agent to set up an appointment to go see it. 

Our agent called us later that afternoon to tell us that the unthinkable had happened.  The other offers fell through and they had accepted ours!!  If we wanted it the house was ours!!

We still went to look at the other home and although we liked the house we hated the neighborhood and it was way to over priced.  

Afterwards we went to walk through the home we liked again, to see how we felt and if it was the home we wanted to buy.  Before we left Jordan and I prayed that we would know if this was the home that Heavenly Father wanted us to be in.   We walked in and knew it was the house we are meant to have. 
Its dirty, needs some TLC and paint but it feels right.  We told them we wanted the house.  As long as it passes inspection, its ours!! 

In the meantime here is a little tour....

The front living room
Walk down the hall the kitchen is on the left.

Here is the pantry, the fridge goes in between.
(The pantry is a little different but it is a lot of storage space so I think it will work fine)
 The kitchen.
The kitchen opens into a large great room.
 The great room leads into a second living room which we are going to turn into a play room.

It leads to the backyard.

Jordan's office 

 One of the two kids bedrooms.

The closets are weird. 
Eventually we will knock down the weird shelve things and make it into normal closet.

Kids Bathroom
 The second bedroom that will be the nursery.
Obviously we will be painting. ASAP
