What you have to know, what you can pretend to know and how you figure out you know nothing at all...

So after having incredibly horrible dreams about closing not going through on our little bungalow of love, I realize you must simply put your trust in the Lord and hope for the best.

I really want to take time to thank the people who helped this home buying experience happen! Thanks to our parents for telling us constantly we are throwing our money away on rent (it's true, you know), thanks to Dory and Jerry for keeping us employed and allowing us the opportunity to make an offer on this house, thanks to our realtor (who didn't find this one for us since it's a for sale by owner) who gave us HUGE tips along the way and thank the Heavens above we were able to make the offer! I think it took a little courage, especially for Juan who I believe feels we are moving a little fast on the home buying track.

We are just so happy we get to move in about two months. Funny how fate works, the screaming kid at 3:30 in the morning, well, he still cries at the top of his lungs, but after hearing his parents go at each other's throats all hours I am home, allows me to feel sorry for him (the kid that is) and now the screaming doesn't irk me the way it did before. Sure they still make LOUD noises, but I just hope the kid finds everyday little things to keep him going since his parents sound like they could use an intervention. In other words, I am starting to miss the nuances of apt. living. I am sure that will wear off in about a day or two ;).

Oh and scroll down to the first post we made on the pictures, don't just start with the kitchen pictures post, and you do have to read to catch some of the highlights of our closing (the when, but I can type it again, July 31st!!:) )

Thanks to everyone who kept an eye out for us....keep it up....just in case, you know?

And there's an efficiency apt in the back, but it's not quite completed just yet...so pictures of that when we get closer to closing, I suppose. If everything goes as planned, we will have a HOME on July 31st!

YAY!!!

NEW HOUSE!!! It's officially under contract and going to the Riveras!

Oh my and dear! When will I get better at this consistency thing? No worries, I simply must do better in the future. We are so excited! We just signed a contract (YES A CONTRACT!!!) on a home! Okay, enough with the exclamation points.....once you see the pictures, you will understand why we are so excited! Hope we don't hex the closing or anything!!!
