Movin' On Up......

It's official, well almost official... we have a new house!!! The bank FINALLY signed the papers today. 205 Alpine is officially "under contract!" There is still lots to be done- inspection, loan, fix a burst pipe (did I mention there's a huge hole in the kitchen ceiling...YIKES!), and finally the closings on 2 houses. But, for now we will just be grateful that the contract is signed and no other offers will be considered! This has been complete agony and has truly tested my patience. It will be SOOOO worth it though! This house is way out of our league....its big and beautiful! It has a lakeview, HUGE rooms, and a pool (don't get too excited...its above ground and a little scary!). I have so many (too many) plans for making this house gorgeous. It needs a little TLC and will be dynamic! My patience will again be tested for all of our money was spent on the house and little is left for updating. I'll start saving my pennies!

Here are a few pictures of the "almost ours" dream:
