A Dream Come True!

Are you sitting down?!?!? If not, please do so immediately before reading further....
- No, we are not pregnant.
- No, we did not win the lottery.
- No, I didn't get a Range Rover.


WE ARE SO HAPPY BECAUSE WE BOUGHT A HOUSE!!!!!!
Our first house, our first home, our first place to truly start our lives...oh my goodness, I am SO excited! We've waited almost 5 years, and attempted to buy before but it's just never been THE right house or THE right time...and the time has come and we couldn't feel more blessed!
...So come take a ride through the neighborhood with us...
ENJOY THE PICS
(say your prayers that closing is smooth and fast and there are no hold ups...we have agreed on a price, buyer & seller, so everything should be good to go...but prayers are ALWAYS appreciated!)

We absolutely love this house! It's in a great location and we are purchasing it for well under appraisal! There are, of course, a few upgrades that we will do once in the house over the course of time to include:
Painting (will do before move in; not needed but WANTED)
New Front Door (will do immediately; not needed but WANTED)
Granite Counter Tops
New Tile (where there is already tile)
New Cabinets in Kitchen
New Appliances
Landscaping (in the Spring we plan to install a sprinkler system, lay grass, and do some plant uprooting and planting, we will trim the trees immediately...too bad we can't use it for firewood in our fireplace...Cedar...no bueno!)

House Info:
2,117 Square Feet
.27 Acres
4 Bedrooms/2 Baths
1/2 Block to Lago Vista Clubhouse
