New Home!!

Well, we finally did it, we found our dream home!

About ten months ago, on the very first day we started going to Open Houses, we saw a house with a particular floorplan that we really liked. In all the time since, we have seen many many other floorplans, but never one that trumped this first one. We also liked the neighborhood, and in all the time since, we have only seen one other neighborhood we would have preferred. Unfortunately though, the #1 neighborhood did not offer this particular floorplan. It also would have meant changing our cable TV/internet service to another complany that is not as good as what we have now (and will continue to have in the new house). So when push came to shove, it was a no-brainer. We chose our #1 floorplan in our #2 neighborhood, and got just about everything we were looking for.

Ironically, the house we are buying is right down the block, nine houses away, from the house we saw on that first day. Basically, we have looked all over town, and come full circle right back to where we started. One thing for sure: after all our looking, all our comparing and contemplating, our decision has been nothing if not EDUCATED!! We feel quite comfortable that we have made the best possible choice.

And so, without any further ado, here are a few pictures of our new home which we will be moving into on February 27. And no, it does not “come furnished.” We will be bringing in our own stuff shortly, and that’s the next big adventure: Moving!!!

So, it’s one thing after another. It’s been quite an adventure so far, as I’m sure this whole new experience of being new homeowners will continue to be.
