Home Owner???

Dave and I have made the big leap from being renters to owners. We signed the papers yeaterday and if everything goes smoothly (inspections and finances) we will be moving into our OWN house March first.

From the pictures you can see how beautiful the property is. The road it is close to was one part we didnt like until we saw it and realized that it really isnt a busy road at all. The back yard is an acre and it has the barn which Dave will convert into a shop eventually.

It is currently three different apartments which have been badly taken care of. We will have to do a good scrubbing (anyone want to join the brigade?)before it is worthy of being lived in but it is liveable unlike some of the other places we looked at.

Dave will start by making one half of the house what we want it to be and hopefully by the winter of next year we will have that half perfectly to our liking and be living in it. The other half will be finished as the funds are available and as Dave has the time to spare.

In the end, we are hoping it will be a 5 bedroom home with a nice new kitchen and nice new bathrooms and nice floors with characteristics of the old home but with modern finishes as well.

So this is our new stage. Baby number two will arrive mid January if everything is on time and then in March we will own our first home. Busy busy busy. We might live in our current residence for a month while we have the home so some of the work can be done for the new born to be in the house safely.

Thats the news. We're excited. Please pray it all works out smoothly.
