New House

We've Moved!! Our lease at the condo was up and March and we had been contemplating whether or not we wanted to stay there for a while or move into a house. Once we found out I was pregnant we knew there was no question about it..we had to get something bigger. I started looking at houses while John was in Minnesota and I was going to pick a few I liked and take him to see them when he got back. Well...my mom called and told me that the house across the street from the Principe's was for rent and she wanted to know if we were interested. I told her I thought the rent would be way out of our price range but to go ahead and call and ask. The rent ended up being almost $500 more per month than we wanted to spend so we thought "oh well" and continued looking. The next day the owner of the house called my mom back and said that he would take off $450 since he knew the Principe's if we were still interested. My mom and I went and looked at it and we LOVED it..it has so much room and it is in a perfect location for us. So I told the owner that I was definentally interested but I would have to wait until my husband came back in town so he could look at it. He told me that it was first come first serve so if he found someone else who was interested before John got back then he would give the house to them..so I was sure it would be gone. When John came back in town I called the guy and asked if it was still available and he said he had two people who were interested but he didn't have any money yet from either of them to hold it. We headed over there and John loved the house just as much as I did so we decided to go ahead and give him a deposit to hold it..so, this weekend we moved in and we are loving it so much. Each of our kids will have their own room and I have a nice playroom to do my daycare. We have a pool and a big backyard that already has a swingset. John is loving that he finally has a garage to put all his tools in and he even has his own little workshop that the guy used as an office. We were so fortunate to find something so perfect and that the owner was willing to drop the price for us. These are the only pics I have so far but I will take more as we get settled in.Living Room
