Nothing much to report... :)

You: What's up Laura? You haven't been blogging much lately?

Me: Huh? Oh I've been busy with stuff.

You: What stuff? Just regular stuff?

Me: Yeah regular stuff. Kid stuff. Work stuff. Buying a house stuff.

You: Yeah, I know how that go-... Hold the phone!

Me: Huh? I never mentioned it? Oh, I've been busy....


So yeah...we bought a house. How about that? We negotiated the terms today and it looks like everything is moving forward. I guess we were waiting to make sure it all went through before saying much about it, but it all looks good. We have a contract. We still have inspections and we'll have closing in June.

It's such a perfect house for us. Here are the specs:

• 1 1/2 Story (whatever that means...it's basically a 2 story)
• 1944 square feet (according to the listing, but closer to 2,000 when looking at the floor plan)
  
• 3 bedrooms + bonus room (with one bedroom downstairs)
  
• Living room and Family Room
• Eat-in Kitchen (with side-by-side fridge and smooth-top range)
  
• Separate Laundry
• 1-Car Garage (WITH a garage door opener. I have live 8 years with a garage and no opener!)
• Park in the neighborhood
• NO HOA fees (we searched hard for that!)
• Roof is only 2 years old!
• Fenced in backyard - with shed and pond!
  

Can! you! tell! I! am! excited?! Oh and get this... I just found out that I know two people in the neighborhood. I'm so totally excited!

Until I can actually get over there to take my own pictures, here are some of the better pictures from the listing:

Backyard
(Yeah it may be small, but we think it's perfect - and it's PRIVATE!)

Garden Shed in the Backyard

Fish Pond. Yes. A fish pond.
