On January 30, 2014 our townhome went on the market. We had a lot of individual showings and spent a lot of time away from home. The worst part was keeping the house clean and with Allie's first birthday and baptism quickly approaching, I wasn't sure how we were going to manage that. Everyone that liked it loved the layout and the open feel. A downside was the bathroom in the basement, nobody liked the textured walls. We didn't either when we moved in but we didn't mind them.
From then, we spent random days looking at houses in the area. Thanks to our Minnesota Grandma, Paulette, for watching the girls.
It was only on the market about a month and we received an offer on March 2! We got the message when we got out of church. Our realtor had already planned for an open house this day but we ended up filling out paperwork and making plans to make an offer on a house that we really liked.
Dwight liked this house from the moment we drove by and I was very hesitant because it's a split level, I wanted a house that didn't have stairs from the kitchen to the garage. It was nice inside, 5 bedrooms plus a den. It has a 3-car garage and almost 2,500 sq ft. The fenced in backyard is next to a parks baseball fields. That night after looking at it, it was all I could think about. We looked at it twice but we were still waiting for our house to sell. After we got the offer on our home, we looked at the house we liked one last time before putting an offer in. After many calls with our Realtor, we got it and didn't back down ... we were ready to walk if need be.
Here are just a few pictures of our new digs. We close on April 17 and we are so excited!
