WE DID IT!

We did it!
We bought a house! I can't believe it.
The original plan was to house shop next year, but we quickly found out that sometimes the stars align sooner than you think.
We found the house in May. (Ty was looking online.) It was really close to the home we were renting so when Ty and I did some of my 3 day training walks or walked the dogs we would go by it. At the time we were just admiring it, not planning on buying it. As the summer went on we fell more in love with the home. We started debating looking at the house. As luck would have it in June Aimee and Chris' realtor took them to it when we went house hunting with them! We were so excited to see the inside. After seeing it we continued to consider it and in July decided to go see it again. After seeing it again and talking we decided that this was the home for us!
We were so lucky to have a relatively painless experience while we were negotiating with the bank and closing. And now after closing, it is official, we are home owners!!!
The most exciting thing is that we are in the home we are going to raise our family in. No doubt, we have a lot of work ahead of us. We are learning A LOT! Every wall that gets painted, AC that gets put together and light that gets hung looks better that the last! Like my parents we went for the fixer' upper' because we loved the layout. So far all of the work has been really enjoyable because it is OURS! It is the place where our child will take their first steps and get their first car! With that light at the end of the tunnel, I am so excited for us to take our time and make it perfect for our family!
Until then, we are UNDER CONSTRUCTION!
