THE house 509

As mentioned before my plate is extremely full right now...but its a good thing I'm hungry ;) We are currently house hunting as well as wedding planning. Buying a house wasn't something that we had really thought about doing until after the wedding, however things rarely go as planned in my life.

Over the weekend the real estate agent took us to see 8 homes in Plano. Some were disappointing, some were do-able and there were a few that were great. Of course there was one that was "perfect"! We'll call the 509 house. This house is in a great neighborhood, way better than most we had look in, yet still in our price range. The schools are great all the way up to Senior High and the square footage is the biggest we have seen. The house has 3 bedrooms, a huge master bedroom and bathroom (also rare). We also love the kitchen, two car garage and the fact that it has a "bonus room". There are a few down sides to the 509 house too, there is almost no landscaping or trees, but that is something we could do ourselves in time. The house is all tile and carpet, I would have preferred hardwood floors and tile but again very fixable in time. One of the back doors has a doggie door, which sounds great for Bauer but our cat Oscar is not allowed outside, EVER (he is declawed and we are good owners), so that door will need to be replaced. The living room is painted a very odd shade of dark blue, but that I will be painting before we move in ;) So personally I think the good totally out weighs the bad :)

We are going back to see the 509 house again this evening. We are also bringing our checkbook and mortgage paperwork...so we'll see what goes down ;) I'm trying not to get too excited or get my hopes up.

Please say a little prayer for Matt and I that we make the right decision and find the right home to raise our family in :)
