Our House!

WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!


When we looked at houses over the weekend, we found one that we loved. Since we liked it, we decided to go ahead and make an offer (after much prayer and seeking advice!). The worst that could happen was that the seller would say no, right? Considering the fact that we asked for a closing date in late July, we weren't expecting a yes, but were hopeful. After a few days of negotiating, the deal is done! And we've even got our late closing date! Of course, we are thrilled and can't wait to actually move in and make it ours! Now we need a name for our house: Chez Shu? Feel free to offer suggestions.

The main level has a living and dining room (she doesn't have a table in it, so it looks like another living room) and a kitchen. Downstairs is the built-in office and rec room, and a bathroom with washer and dryer. Upstairs is 2 beds and one bath.

I can't believe you bought a house! How grown-up of you! Where is the guest room? I can't wait to come visit.

That beautiful bright blue room is all yours, Kel. Right next to ours, so we can keep tabs on our guests. =)

Love it, Merritt! Congratulations!

I don't understand why you would need to keep tabs on me.

Now KT I could understand you needing to keep tabs on.

I like blue. I'll live there.

True. KT is totally rambunctious and out of control. And I've learned I can't keep you under control even when we are in the same room! =)

OK..the blue room will be yours. With the Indian comforter on the bed!

Four of my friends have claimed the basement. I don't know how this is going to work out.
