House update

After three months of searching for a house we found out yesterday that our offer on this house was accepted! We still have to go through the inspection process, but assuming that doesn't turn up any major flaws it is looking like we will be closing on this house by the end of July!


We had originally hoped to buy a duplex so we could live in one unit and rent the other, but after making offers on three duplexes and not getting any of them we started to change our tactic. We looked at some single-family homes and were pleasantly surprised to find that we could actually afford a decent one.


And when we saw this particular house we felt like we couldn't pass it up. It has a two-car garage, three bedrooms and a large family room. Plus a deck in the back, a privacy fence, and a park at the end of the block. The lawn and landscaping definitely need some love, and the kitchen needs to be updated at some point, but otherwise it's really nice.


We're excited about it and are thankful that the Lord has provided even more than we had hoped for. The inspection probably won't take place for a couple weeks so we'll update again after that.

Congratulations, little sister! We are so excited for you. It looks really nice and I can't wait to see it! You can have some plants from my garden too, if you would like:)
