OUR NEW HOME!!!!
We did it! Or I guess I should say he did it. We have a house! After a couple weeks of hunting, we found the perfect house. And though we were only looking for a “starter home,” we ended up with something very close to the “dream home.” It’s brand new and completely gorgeous. We were originally hoping for something that had some older trees and natural landscaping, but we did have to make some compromises. (Yes, there will be grass by the time we move in… they promised to sod it!)The house is totally worth the compromise.
The master bedroom is amazing with the most incredible bathroom complete with a walk-in closet, a HUGE tub and separate shower, double sinks, and beautiful marble. We have a 2 car garage (as you can see), and a full basement, gas fireplace, and brand new stainless steel appliances. I can’t wait to get in and paint, wallpaper, and accessorize! (If we have any money left!) We couldn’t believe the deal we got on this brand new house!
We are hoping to close at the end of September and get in on October 1st. But the house is officially ours (his) unless something crazy happens. I can’t believe it! We will be moving into a house like real growed ups. haha!
Enjoy some of the pics!

Wow! I can’t even imagine home ownership in NYC. I think my apartment would comfortably fit in your mailbox. But…since you probably want me a little closer to you than the mailbox, I’ll just move my things into the guest bedroom. How’s Saturday sound?
