The Reveal

We have chosen a house!

And a house has chosen us!

Since no one had a place they loved from the last post, you'll all be glad to know we picked...

House #4!

We discovered this house last Saturday on Craigslist and have been in contact with the renter since then. Because the house was so much what we wanted for such a good price, it was also a place other people wanted to live, and we had to wait to see if we were the lucky winners. Happily we were, and we are so excited! Thank you for everyone who has hoped, and wished, and prayed along with us.

This house has:

3 bedrooms

1 living room

1 downstairs family room

1 loft/office

2 1/2 baths

1 kitchen

laundry hook-ups

dishwasher!!!

two car attached garage

a good elementary school in walking distance

and a campus bus stop one block away

This was everything on our list!!! We are now a little further from the University, but with the bus stop so close we are more than happy. Here's some pictures for you all to enjoy:

The galley kitchen:

In true house-hunters this would be sooo unacceptable. No granite countertops, no stainless steel, tight space, blah, blah, blah.

But.... helloo..... I don't much care for cooking my friends, and this smaller space means there is less floor to clean!!! Plus, I think there are lots of cupboards.

This loft is perfect for sibling catfights.... no, not so much. But it does have a door. So we will make it an office and keep M far, far away. So not trustworthy!!! This space also has a built in desk which I am seriously thinking of stealing from Justin. Because I have always wanted a built in desk since the knotty pine room at my Aunt Becky's got redecorated.

This particular picture is actually from a nearby house for sale, it just shows the windows and layout better than the picture of the townhome we'll be in.

This is one of my favorite spaces, an outdoor, screened patio. So, you can eat outside without the bugs!!!

Well, I won't bore you anymore. We are very excited.

*****And if you are not, you must just keep your mouth shut - like when your friend has a really weird looking boyfriend - because what's done is done. And that is that.
