We got a house!

I have been a horrible blogger.

Not sure if anyone who reads this remembers when Michael and I looked at new homes about a year ago. We had found one we really loved, put the money down, and backed out and got the money back. We werent happy with the loan and the builder we had originally thought we loved so much, and the timing just wasnt right, so we held off and we are so glad we did!

So, fastforward to this past weekend, we went to AZ to visit his parents before I start my job, and ended up falling in love with a house. It is so perfect and just so "us" and so we took the plunge and signed the contract. We got approved for a great loan for first time home buyers, and the best part, we have $40,000 to play with for upgrades!! Here is a pic of the outside until I get the ones of the inside off of the camera. It is 3200 square feet, 2 story, 5 bedrooms plus a master retreat, a loft, formal dining room, formal living room, great room, covered patio, huge backyard, etc etc...we are so excited about it!!! All of this for $185,000!!! If your from Cali, you know that this is an absolute steal! Granted we are moving out of state, but its only a 5 hour drive, and 1 hour on a plane! It is so worth it and it is giving Michael and I so much to look forward to. Our move in date is August 28th, 2008. 5 weeks after our wedding!!!
