After nearly 3 months, we finally closed on our first home! I can’t wait to move into this wonderful old house.
It was built in 1870, has 10+ acres of land. The seller had renovated the inside of the house. It is beautiful.
There is still a lot of packing to do. We moved a carload of boxes to the new home tonight. This weekend we will move the furniture, food, clothing, kitchenware, bathroom items, and a few other things.
Thankfully I have next week to finish things up. Little Miss will be at school during the day so I will be able to work without having her underfoot ??
Our realtor is a gem. She is so knowledgeable and helpful. She found a lender who was willing to work with us. We were ready to toss in he towel but she encouraged us to be patient. Glad we listened to her.

@RebeccasFarm when Little Miss first saw it she was delighted because blue is her favorite color.

@sallypup a plain old color just doesn't pop. We have a few places in town that are lavender or purple. It is my favorite color but I wouldn't want to paint my home that color. Maybe a room or two!

@ElusiveButterfly I day dream about the color I'd like to have my house painted sometimes. It's current white with gray trim doesn't zing enough for me.

@ElusiveButterfly It was a long journey also for my husband and I, we bought our first home 28 years after we got married.

@ElusiveButterfly I’m so glad! Your dream did come true and was definitely worth the wait. Little Miss will grow up in a beautiful home with lots of space to run and play. Enjoy health and happiness there.

@DianneN my husband wants to clear a spot to build another home. It would be one level with 3 bedrooms. He would sell this property and house. Great plan, hopefully it works out!

Looks to be quite large, with the additions. And it's blue, BLUE, so BLUE! (I like blue, so much nicer than this blah beige mine is.)
But it needs a porch! (Mine does, too.)

@BarBaraPrz I’d be happy with a deck off the back door. My hubby has said he will add one in the spring.

I am enjoying this home immensely. We have a few wrinkles to iron out, but thankfully they are not major.
