Our New House!

This past weekend we were up in EGF looking at houses and we signed a purchase agreement on the house that we really wanted! We are so excited! We are set to close on June 5th. It was inspected yesterday so we are closer to the final step! It's on the corner of Greenwood Drive and 4th Street SE--6 houses down from my parents. HEHEHE. It is a 5 bedroom, 2 bathroom home. It has 3140 square feet. We will definitely be able to grow as a family while owning this house! Here are a few pictures:

Master Bedroom on main floor (we'll be painting the walls!)

Peter's New Room (bedroom #2 on main floor, and YES we'll be painting these walls too!)

Bedroom #3 on main floor which will function as our office (Nope, I don't like this wall color either!...this room is also plumbed for laundry, but so is the basement utility room so we will have it down there)

Basement Living Room (Yes, the pool table stays!!)
The basement also has 2 bedrooms, a utility room and a bathroom, however I have no pictures of these.
As mentioned earlier, we will be changing the interior paint colors, but other than that, it needs virtually NO help! It has a pretty new roof and new permanent steel siding (yellow isn't my favorite, but that's ok). There is new hardwood floors and new carpeting throughout the whole house! The yard is a bit small, but O'Leary Park is across the street so we figure we INDEED have a big yard, just one that we don't have to maintain!
That's about all I have for now...
We will be continuing our search for jobs, but we are confident that everything will work out. We have almost 4 months before the move and as of right now, we will be fine through the summer. :D We'll keep you posted!
