WE HAVE A HOUSE!!!!

Well, after years of anticipation and months of scouring the internet, we have finally found our home. Our offer was accepted today and we are scheduled to close on February 23, 2009. It is a four bedroom home in Overland Park with a HUGE yard for Viva and Briley to play in. The location could not be better for us; it is in the areas best school district, is close to both our jobs, and is in the church parish we want to be in. We were so lucky to find a home in our price range in this area; we got a REALLY GOOD DEAL. It was a foreclosed property so it needs some cosmetic work on the inside but nothing too major; just a lot of paint. The outside also need painted but that can wait till this summer. We have a home inspection next week that will tell us more and if there are any big ticket items that need addressed we can cancel the contract or renegotiate. We will not move in till the end of March because that is when our lease is up and we will take that month to clean, paint, and refinish the hardwood floors. We will be painting the wood work and every room in the house (including a two story entry way) so if anyone has a free weekend and feel like doing some painting, you are more than welcome to join us. We will update with some interior pictures soon.
