House Hunt Part 4

Okay, okay I know that I haven't updated about the house hunt in a while, but we have had a lot going on recently.

We are way beyond the house hunting part of this process. We actually found a house back in September that is exactly the same floor plan as the second house we put a bid on. Naturally we put a bid on this house and we are now in the final stages of buying this house. When I say final I mean final like we are closing tomorrow as far as I know.

How crazy is that???? I'm going to own a house as of tomorrow!!!!! I'm not old enough or mature enough to own a house. Plus I don't know the first thing about taking care of a house. This is the scariest most exciting thing I've done in a while (other than get married and pregnant in the same year).

If everything works out as planned we are going to close tomorrow and begin moving things to the house immediately. We've kind of decided on what color paint we are going to put in Emmett's room and possibly the living room, so we'll get the paint tomorrow. If we have the paint and everything then maybe Steven's Dad can go and get some things started if he gets off work early an this week. I love Steven's parents! They do so much for us. Steven's plan is to paint Emmett's room while Steven's Dad works on the wall in Lexie's room. There is one wall that is covered in paneling that we are going to tear out and redo. We may have to put in some sheet rock and then re-texture the wall before we can paint her room. Luckily Steven's Dad has the tools needed to do all of that. Those are the two rooms we are going to start with. After that we'll be painting our room and the two living areas.

I did see at Garden Ridge this weekend some art work that would be sooo cute in the kitchen. Right now we just need to get the bedrooms taken care of so the kids will have a place to sleep. We can work on the rest of the house as we go.

I'll update again soon (maybe). ;)

  2. God really has been so good to me and Alexis (and now Steven)over the last 2 years. Two years ago I didn't think I would be married much less fixing to have a baby. The house thing has always been a possibility, but now it's reality. God has been so wonderful!

    I can't wait for Saturday so I can see all of you ladies! I miss seeing all of you all the time. Once the baby is born I may have to have just a girls night at my place. One to show off the new house, but also to let you all love on the baby too!
