Our House!!!

Omg. OMG! O.M.G...!
Today I received a voicemail from our realtor, Eric, with the news Denis and I have been waiting six weeks to hear- the bank accepted our offer! Unbelievable that the house we fell in love with on our very first day of house hunting is going to be ours... at a steal of deal. Everyone knows I love a good deal, and to me, this house is the mother of all them all... :)

Funny, Denis and I both celebrated our birthdays this past week, and both birthdays came and went without either of us getting what we really wanted- to hear that our offer was accepted and that the house was ours. I had a close call last Thursday (my 27th) when I saw that Eric had called and left me a voicemail- however, he was only calling to fill me in on a new foreclosure listing. Bummer.
Well... Denis' 31st was yesterday. Close enough. We'll take this belated present any day!

The next few months are likely going to be hectic, adventurous, fun, stressful, exciting and more- but I'm sure that we are ready for it! I can't wait to get in and begin to make this house our home.


This is the photo of the house as listed on the remax website.
I'm also including some of the listing info... just for the fun of it.
