First House!!!

We looked, offered, and bought a house this past weekend. It was a crazy weekend as you can imagine. We went out on Saturday looking at houses after getting approved for a home loan. We signed about 3,000 different documents and I think I may have signed over my first born as well...there were so many different documents, I'm not entirely sure. Regardless, we are now the proud owners of a house in the town where I work and where Andrea got a job to begin teaching this next August. There were only like 4 houses that were in our price range, and 2 of them were dumps, and the other one was WAY out in the middle of nowhere....so this one was meant for us I suppose. Our friend and realtor pitched them our price on Sunday morning and we got a call that they accepted it around noon today. It's a nice little house and we will have a good time fixing up stuff and changing stuff around so if and when we sell it, we will be able to get our $$$ back and then some.

It has:

-1,448 square feet
-new siding
-new windows
-1 and 3/4 bath
-full basement (which will be renovated and finished)
-2 bedroom (also a 2nd story large room which could be made into more bedrooms)
-new refridgerator (wheee)
-2 year old furnace and central air
-and a bunch of other things...

Needless to say, we're excited. We take possession of the house on April 28th. After this weekend of craziness, I need some sleep.
