We Bought a House

So, in all of the excitement of having Sarah, we haven't gotten around to telling everyone that we bought a house! It has certainly been an eventful month for us:) We weren't really planning to buy yet, but in mid-December we drove by this house and saw it for sale and looked it up on the internet, not because it looked good but because it was near the highway for Matt to get to work and very close to my grandparents and my mom. Then we went to look at it with a realtor. We discovered that it needed LOTS of updating - very ugly carpet throughout and lots of ugly wallpaper. But we also discovered that it has 2 1/2 baths, 2 car garage, air conditioning and basically 4 bedrooms. These are all things we really wanted to have and hadn't been finding in our price range. So, we decided to make an offer, and came to an agreement on Christmas Eve. We closed last week and started taking wallpaper down this weekend. We won't be moving in for awhile because we want to do the work before we move in and Matt is working a lot so that is probably going to take awhile. But, we are excited:)
