Happy Dance!

Happy dance *singing and dancing* la la la!

WE CLOSED ON OUR HOUSE!!!! Woo hoo!! I am so excited I just had to share with someone! Finally a house to call our own! This is a huge milestone for us. I always thought we would have a house before growing our family, but it didn't work out that way. The down payment is what has always held us back. We were looking at buying a house when we found out we were pregnant with Carter, but the timing and money just wasn't right. Since the government extended the new home buyers tax credit last year we knew we had to take advantage! It seems as though buying a house is a lot harder than you think. There is so much that goes into it. First you have to find the *perfect* house, then comes the long, stressed out, agony filled 30 day closing. Lock in an interest rate, get the inspection, get the seller to fix up the little (or big) issues, get the appraisal....it's hell. But now that's it all behind us it was so worth it!

Our new home has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The kitchen and all bathrooms are remodeled. New appliances, including washer and dryer make it that much more perfect. It has a nice sized backyard, not too big and not too small. The dogs are going to love it! It is near Quincy Reservoir and in Cherry Creek School District. I am not sure if we will be in this house by the time that Carter starts school, but it's nice to know that he would be in Cherry Creek Schools if we are.

Here's a picture of our beauty....many, many more pictures to come!
