MY HOUSE!!

Since I didn't update on the house that I thought was perfect for us, I guess I should do that now.. That house already had an offer (it was a great price so it went fast).. I was bummed.. We looked at many other houses but just didn't feel right about them.. A few we thought we could see ourselves there, but it just wasn't right..

One day after leaving church, we saw a house for sale (it is practically across the street from our church).. We talked to our agents and they looked it up for us.. So about a week ago, we went to look at it.. As soon as I walked in the door to this house I just knew.. I knew it was our house.. So I looked around.. We were only going for 3 bedroom, but this house had 4 bedrooms.. It has 2 bathrooms, and the most beautiful kitchen that I have EVER seen in a home.. I wanted this house.. So did Lee.. So did the kids.. We all felt right about it.. We told them we wanted to make an offer.. So we did.. Right after we made an offer, someone else decided to make an offer also.. Since we did first, we were able to change our offer.. We added $7,000 to the original offer.. Then it was time to wait.. We had to wait to see what offer would be accepted.. We had no idea what the other people offered.. Lee told me not to get my hopes up (which I did).. Guess what?? I am assuming that you already guessed because of the title.. =) YEP!! It is going to be ours.. They can not withdraw.. We can, but they can't.. It is ours.. Then again, I knew it would be as soon as I walked in anyways.. I am SO excited.. Unfortunately we have to wait for the closing date before we get the key and get to move in.. But near the end of next month, we will be moving into our new home.. My first real home (not counting the house I grew up in).. HOW AWESOME IS THAT?? I couldn't be any happier..

Not to mention starting next week, I will be getting 3 days off of work (fri, sat, and sun) because of my new awesome idea of the work schedule.. I will have to pull a 13 hour shift on wed, but who cares, I will get 3 days off.. =) Life couldn't get much better.. Well I could find a better job, but for now life is AWESOME..

I will post pictures as soon as I get to take some.. I am drooling over my soon to be kitchen.. WOW!!!
