We bought a house!!!

We did it! We bought a house! This has been something we've been wanting and working towards for a long time and it's finally done. We signed the books worth of closing papers this afternoon and will get the keys before the weekend!

The house is in Hoquiam, the town that is right next to Aberdeen. It's a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath. It has 1875 finished square feet and about 1200 additional square feet in an unfinished basement. It has a 2 car garage and a nice yard. The whole thing has been gutted and refinished BEAUTIFULLY! It's been an incredible blessing as we we made an offer and had everything close within 10 days! We have until the end of the month to be out of our rental, so we'll spend a good part of the next month moving and getting settled into a new place!

Now for what you've all been waiting for . . . . PICTURES of our new digs:

I would have had more, but my camera batteries died! But at least you get a sneak peek!
Now you all have to come visit beautiful Grays Harbor!! :)

Congratulations again! It's really nice. I like how the garage is on the side and that you can't see it when you drive by the house. Also looks like a great yard for kids to play!
