New House!

As I mentioned previously we thought we found the house we wanted to buy out in the tri-cities. Well, we did some more looking online after we returned from our trip out there & found a couple of other homes that we felt were worth looking at. However we didn't want to drag the kids on another whirlwind trip. So, we sent Aaron out to look at the homes while I stayed home with the kids (It worked WAY better that way, but I was just a tad jealous that he got to go look at all of homes...).

The trip turned out to be a success! We did indeed find a home that we like much better than the one we were planning on purchasing. We made an offer on the house & the sellers took it! YAY! I know, It's CRAZY that we are buying a home that I have never seen! But, I trust Aaron & he knows what I like & do not like in a home. Since I didn't get to be there in person Aaron took 3 videos of the house for me. I thought I'd share them on the blog!

Here is the outside of the house & yard:



This is the kitchen/ living areas on the main level:



And, here is the upstairs:



Aaron was busy &, understandably, forgot to get a video of the guest bedroom & bathroom that is in the 3rd car garage (it was built when the home was and is up to code and everything). So, I will be totally surprised when I finally get to see that room! We will have some painting to do Aaron's not crazy about a purple master bedroom! Hehe!) but there's not a ton to do, which is really nice!

We're really excited & plan to close on the house on November 13th. We are trying not to get too excited though, because it seems like every time we have bought or sold a house something has gone wrong. But, we are crossing our fingers that everything will go smoothly, & that the sellers don't back out or anything (that has happened to us before)!

No matter what happens with this house (and we do anticipate it going well), we will be moving out there December 20th!! WOO HOO! Merry Christmas!
