Sold

We're getting a house!! I can't tell you how excited we are. It all happened so fast. We found a repo that is in good shape, and gave an offer. We figured that there probably were a lot of other people giving offers on this house too, so we didn't think we had a chance. Our offer must have been the highest because we got it.
We got a great deal, but we have a lot of work to do to make it feel like home. The yard is a disaster, but that's the part we can hardly wait to work on. We are so excited to have a backyard where Lauren can run around and play. This will be our first house!
We went over to the house today to get our picture by the sold sign. We are looking right into the sun...hence my squinting eyes and Lauren's bowed head.

I am really happy for you guys. Let us know what we can do to help. And, it was great seeing you yesterday. I haven't seen you in weeks. :)

I remember you once said that you like mowing lawns and yard work, you'll whip it into shape in no time.

Congratulaions!!!!!!!!! I'm thrilled you're staying in the ward. (it is still that house right?)

How exciting! I hope you're still in the neighborhood. Can I help at all? Maybe steal Lauren for a while so you can pack in peace? (if that's possible)
