We finally did it!

Since we already bought a minivan and a bunk bed this year, we thought we might as well not stop there. We decided to go all out and buy a new house too! : ) After months of looking we finally found something we both love. It's a spec home in a newer development that Scott just happened to find on the MLS list. He found it on a Wednesday, we looked at it Friday, put in an offer that night, and it was accepted the next day. It all happened so fast, but we felt good about it. I think we've looked at so many houses that we knew we found the right one when we saw it. And it's a good thing we snatched it up when we did because we found out that there were several other people interested in it as well.

The house isn't finished yet so we weren't quite sure we wanted to buy it at first. It's so hard to imagine what things will look like in a house that just has sheet rock and bare floors. However, the builders have a spec home in town of the same floor plan so we decided to take a look at it to get a better idea of the finished product. We stepped inside the house and were immediately sold. It was so beautiful! We loved the model home so much we almost want to tell them to finish ours the exact same way. But this week we start meeting to pick everything out. I want to see all of our choices just to make sure there isn't anything I like better. It's a little overwhelming, but fun at the same time. I just hope everything we pick out ends up looking good together.

This picture is actually of the model home, but ours looks basically the same. We couldn't get a good picture since it was so dark, but we will have more coming...hopefully some of the inside too. So exciting!
