New House

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, which is my usual day to write our weekly post. I was busy getting pre-approved and signing a purchasing contract for a new house! It took hours and hours, but we are now officially under contract! This has all happened pretty fast. We've been "looking" for a couple of months thinking we wouldn't do anything until May(ish.) But on Thursday, when I went to go look at a friend's new house, she showed me the house next door. I thought it looked great and went home to see the other plans for the building company. I fell in love with 2 (my favorite being the floor plan of the house that was already built.) I figured I would book mark them and look at them again in May. Well, Jeremy saw the house as we helped our friends move in and we ended up putting an offer in that night (Saturday.) We were pre-approved and our offer was accepted all yesterday morning. So yesterday afternoon I signed the contract. We are having a few things done to our brand new home before we move in (like getting the basement finished,) so it will be about a month before we move. I'm actually really grateful for that so that I have time to let that all sink in. I'm desperately going to miss our ward. But I'm surprised that I yet to have buyers remorse. I think it helps that Jeremy is so excited when he normally could care less about things like that.

Jeremy got some pictures of the main floor, so for those of you who are curious, enjoy the pics!Coat Closet in Entry WayKitchenPantry (which is Clara's current favorite part of the house. Every time we go see the house, she runs for the pantry and pretends it's her castle.)Oh yeah, and the best part about this house is that it is RIGHT next door to our friends! So we know we already love our neighbors! (Who also happen to have a girl who is 2 months older than Clara!)
