Our new home!

Well, it seems to be getting more and more real that Justin and I have bought our first home!  We had been looking at houses since June (seems like forever) and looked at many neighborhoods, locations, new, old, foreclosures, etc.  It was a long process but we finally decided to purchase a new home which is in the process of being built as we speak.  Building a house is super fun as you can pick everything out yourself, but it's also A LOT of work it seems!  After looking at so many homes, we knew somewhat the location we wanted and the layout we wanted and just needed to find the home within our price range.  Not as easy as it sounds but we are thankful to find the perfect first home for us.  The house is in the Spring area and it's about 30 minutes away from where we live now.  We love the location of our apartment, but finding a nice home within our price range and good school district was quite the task.   Here are some pictures of the process:

Inside the house, we love the open layout

This is the latest picture from last Friday

It's a small one story, 3 bedroom plus study, but just perfect for what we need.  Actually, it's way more than what we need and we are incredibly thankful.  Lord willing, we will close the end of February!
