New house

For the last 8 months we have been on the hunt for our first house. Out of all the houses I looked at we seriously considered 2 but decided against both. Out of frustration, our search had come to a halt. After hearing about the $8000 tax credit being offered to first time home buyers I re-opened the proverbial can of worms and started looking again. Well I didn't have to look very far! A good friend of mine mentioned that his parents were looking to sell/lease/rent a property that they had bought for a family member whom no longer lived there. After a couple meetings(one being a yummy dinner at Il Granio), we came to a VERY generous conclusion and now we have a house!!!! We are so excited to make it our own. It's 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 1700 sq. ft, a nice fenced back yard with a great play area for Lydia. We feel so blessed and are amazed at the kindness they have shown us! Here are a few pictures...look for "after" pictures soon!
