Almost Ours

We are in love with a house!!  We are now in the process of purchasing it.  Everything has gone through, all we are waiting for is the closing date (March 25th)!  We are so excited!!! We are buying our first place together!  This has all  happened pretty fast.  We found the place in early February (right before my first trip), we were sadly outbid by someone else...So, I was a little sad when I left for my trip, but Will called me on my second to last day there telling me that the offer fell through and they were wondering if we were still interested!  Fingers-crossed that nothing happens from now until the 25th...but we should be good to go!

A little about the house....

It has 3 bedrooms (all on the 3rd level) with a 4th room on the lower level (it is not technically a bedroom because it has no window).  We are going to make that the man room/boy room!  I told Will that he can have his drums set up in there and whatever else he wants as long as Colin gets a corner!  There are 3 1/2 bathrooms!  I am so excited about that! There is 2 on the 3rd level (our master and what will be Colin's), then there is a half on the main level with a 3rd full bath on the lower level. 

I love the kitchen!  It is very spacious and has a nice set up.  Eventually, we plan to spruce up the cabinets a bit and put in granite countertops.

We are trying to decide if we want to paint before we move in or not.  Our last day at our apartment will give us plenty of time to move in and do whatever needs to be done before living there.  I am glad we will not be rushed.  I have a light tan color picked out for the main areas (living, family and hallways).  Then Will and I decided on a medium blue color for the master.  I will post pictures when it is done.  I am very excited about that room!  We also have a blue for Colin's room picked out.  It is a darker baby blue, so it doesn't look too infant like.  We're also thinking of stenciling his name on the wall.  We saw it in a magazine and it looked so cute!  I think we are going to go away from the Pooh theme and move towards transportation.  That way we can do firetrucks, airplanes, cars, etc.  We have some ideas for the bathrooms but we need to look a little more.

Can you tell I am so excited!!!!  I will keep you all updated! Oh, and another big deal item...it is in the area that we wanted!  Colin will be able to go the schools we were hoping for and I just love this city!

Hopefully, more to come!!!
