In Case You Haven't Heard...

I bought a house!!!!!

I'm super excited!  I had no idea what all went into purchasing a home.  It seems like all I do lately is write checks and sign papers!  It will be SO worth it though, because this time in my life is something I've anticipated for a very long time.

I had been "looking" online for a house for a while.  I knew I wanted to take full advantage of the tax credit that was available for first time homebuyers.  I knew it ended this year, on April 30.  I can only explain this entire process by saying it was all God.  I found a townhouse that is in my price range, in a safe place, and one in which I can just see myself calling home.  It has great potential.  Every square inch will have to be painted, and I have to purchase all new appliances.  But, I can't wait to make the vision I have of how I want it to look become a reality. 

Pictures will be posted soon.  I will definitely do a before and after montage.  The current owners are still living there so I can't get in to take any at this time.  Until then, I'm having a blast picking out paint colors, shopping for furniture, and just enjoying the process.
