Pinch Me

Well, what do we have here? What is this cute little muffin of sweetness with a charming little sunporch? What could it possibly be?

Answer: OUR NEW HOME!!!

Yep, we've been approved, the inspection has been done, the papers have been signed, and we are the proud new owners of our first house... and three lovely mature trees and beautiful flowerbeds all the way around. Ta da!

Now for the packing....

Congrats guys, we bought our house a couple years ago and I still find myself thinking how much I love homeowning.

I am so glad to hear that, especially from someone who rented a house before buying. We were considering a place right near where you used to live on Elm... neighbourhood's a little sketchy, though, eh?

Rach... it's just a few blocks from Maren's school, so not far at all.

Thanks for sharing in our excitement, everyone. \(^_^)/

Yahoo! BOXES! Oh yes, yes PLEASE, Rachel! Our closing date is June 22, but we don't have to be out of this place until June 30... so three or four weeks.

I'm jealous.

Me too! But very excited for you! How fun. Dave and I have been very contented renters for the past few years, but, yes, we're both feeling the itch to own a home again. It may happen sooner than we'd want though...there's talk around here that the building we now live in may be torn down this fall! Yikes!

Erin said...

YAY, I just got back from Ontario and what a wonderful surprise! Congratulations guys!!!! You'll love home owning...however there's always never ending projects to be done so don't get overwhlemed!!!

It truly is a "muffin of sweetness." You're moving into your dream house as we're moving into our dream bungalow (but we're renting)!

If you need help packing, cleaning, painting, etc, give a shout. Seriously. Just shout and I'll hear you :D.
