Our Little Piece of Heaven

WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! 

I still cannot believe it, but as of 7:00pm tonight our offer was accepted! We've been looking pretty hard for a month of so, and we both fell in love with this house as soon as we walked in (the warm cookies the sellers left out for us didn't hurt either!) We took my parents to see it

 today to get their opinion on it. They have been such a big help to us in finding the right house and not getting in over our heads. I'm grateful for their help! So, we saw the house with them at 1:00pm (we had already been their by ourselves), and decided to put an offer in. 

We got our offer in at 5:00pm and they called at 6:30 to tell us they loved everything but our closing date. We are in our appartment until the end of May, but they wanted to close on March 6. After about a half an hour of talking with them, they decided to pay 

our rent for those two months so we are closing on March 6, only 6 short weeks from now!  It's still hard to believe, but we are excited beyond words!!

Our beautiful new home is in Fridley and only a few minutes from Dan's office. It's on a half acre and has a beautiful fire pit in the back. Here are the pictures of it is as of now. We'll put up more after we are settled and have our stuff in it!

The office/someday nursery :)
The third bedroom downstairs, which will probably be used as my craft room or maybe it will be rented by someone we know and love for a short while :)
And here is what sent Dan over the moon about this house - the basement. They have it set up like a home theater with a big flat screen TV and a speaker system that's wired through the walls. None of those things are staying, but someday we'll add all these things to his basement "man room" :)

We are so excited to move in and have you all over to see it in person! If you want to help move and see it sooner rather than later, we are accepting volunteers to help on moving day!! :)
