We're buying a house!!!

We're buying our first home--and we are so excited. After almost three years of aparment living, we are excited to have a little more room and have a space that we can make our own.

We started our home search in November and it has been an experience that we will never forget. After a month of searching we found our townhome--only to discover that it was a shortsale property. Not only were we first time homebuyers, we were first time homebuyers hoping to purchase a shortsale home-a complicated combination. (Shortsales are not quick--the process can take up to 120 days and most of the time the sale is not approved)

We have been so blessed to have Matthew's uncle as our realtor. He has helped make this process managable and as well as enjoyable. We are hoping for an April 29th closing date!

We are looking forward to having friends and family over and grilling out on the deck this summer! Our hope is that our home will be a welcoming place for all to enjoy. More to come on our move along with a picture tour of our home.
