Our househunting trip

So our trip went really well! We found a house that we really like and our offer was accepted!! Now it just has to pass inspection and the termite inspection and we're good to go! One of us will have to go back in early July to close! And then we will all head across the country in the end of July for the final move!

Here's our house!


And here's the backyard!


And here's how we all feel after the trip due to Natalie waking up at 5 a.m. every morning and being 3 time zones away from the norm!

(This was Natalie at the park on the last day there. We got kicked out of the hotel before she got a nap in. We drove around for 2 hours exploring the area and hoping she would go out. We finally gave up and took her to the park. Wouldn't you know that the little girl who would only nap in her infant swing for the first 8 months of her life would fall asleep in the toddler swing at the park!?!?!)

So here's the lowdown on the house. It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath house on 0.91 acres. The laundry room comes directly off the garage and then leads into the kitchen. Once you exit the kitchen you enter the dining area/living room. There is also a door leading to the master bedroom and bathroom. The dining area has a built-in with shelves and storage. The floors are hardwood in the dining area and bedroom hall. The kitchen is tile and all the bedrooms are carpeted. The living room area has carpet as well. From the living room, you have access to the deck in the back yard. As you can see from above, the backyard is HUGE!! The front entry is also into the living room area. From the front door, if you turn right, you enter the bedroom hallway. There is a full bath across from this entrance and then a bedroom off to the left and right in the hallway (so these bedrooms are on the opposite side of the house from the master). Natalie's room will be the one off to the right and at the front of the house. The other bedroom will be our guest room. It is the smallest of the bedrooms!

We are very excited about the move and had a really great time! The town is so nice and all the people we met were super friendly....now we just have to pack. YUCK!
