Growing Up

Well, Ben and I think we found a house! (trying not to get too excited)

This is the house that we put an offer on February 7, the house that we keep hearing, "2 more weeks, 3 more weeks," the house that we found out we could have just as we were about to buy a house that was a little out of our comfort level, this is THE house that we have been waiting for.

I will now proceed to tell you the "boring" details about our new house! (hopefully)
-1000 sq feet
-3 bedrooms
-1 bathroom
-newly remolded kitchen and bath
-BIG living room (for this size house)
-beautiful front and back yard
-near downtown
-near trails and open spaces

We love this house for many reasons, one of them being that it defies this new "American" idea that the bigger the house the better. Ben and I want very much to raise our children for something greater than possessions and materialism, having a really small house will help with that. We are very excited for things to move forward and are simply praying that nothing gets in the way of our moving into this house. Ben and I love the flexibility this home will provide us (cheaper than our rent was), we are also ready to feel settled and like we have a stake in where we are living.

*Most exciting dreams for the new house
1. having a garden
2. starting our diverse and beautiful family
3. having a yard for Oliver
4. renovating
5. Ben's "man cave" in the 200 sq ft. basement (j/k)

Looking forward to sharing pictures and stories from our new home!
