Our New Home!!

[AngieDoogles]

Brendon and I saw the house that we want today. The problem is, the landlord is willing to either rent or sell it to us (or lease to own, though I'm not sure how that would work ). This is a tough decision for us. We know the pros and cons of renting vs. buying, but it's so difficult to make such a huge commitment, especially since we are both still in college.

It's SO nice compared to what we are used to! It is brick, has 2 bedrooms, and is 1300 sq ft, which is fine since it's just the two of us (and Marty) for now. It has a really nice open floor plan. If you walk in through the kitchen door, you can see the whole length of the house to the opposite wall of the living room (and it's HUGE). There isn't a wall separating these common living spaces, only a bar...which is really nice for entertaining. There's a nice sized laundry room, two bedrooms, two full baths, and everything is new from the doors, to the paint, to the light fixtures, to the electrical wires and plumbing. The guys who are working on it completely gutted it to the bare minimum (basically the walls) and started fresh. Also, there is a fenced in front yard and a back yard that would be completely fenced in if we added a gate. In the back there is a playplace/storage "thing" that's really nice (like a miniature house!). We haven't decided what we would do with it, but there are two decent sized rooms and a front porch. Whoever built it went all out, lol.

Anyway, I was excited so I just wanted to tell someone! I'm so glad you guys are here to listen to my random jabbering. lol!

We should hear back from the bank on Monday about our loan, then we'll decide if we are buying or renting. Wish us luck! I sure am nervous!!
