Gloating Time

Today is the big day and we're so excited! At 9:30 I do a final walk through and at 10:30 we close. Then the men from church will be over at 5PM to help us move in. So here's how spectacular my house is... ready?

We are almost the owners of a 3100 square foot 4 bedroom and an office home that sits on 1/2 an acre. It is within walking distance of the church, the University and the park is directly across the street.

In the back yard we have raspberries, strawberries, chokecherries, and mulberries (has anyone ever eaten those? I haven't). There is a swing hanging from a massive tree back there and a garage over in the corner. It's completely fenced with a nice uncultivated bit of land directly behind it.

So how on earth did we afford such a thing!? Well that's the best part of all, and why you should all move here. The house only cost us $149,900.

Yes, that's right. We sold our condo in Phoenix (1,090 square feet) for more than that.

I love this place.

Well have a good day simmering about how I've gotten a better deal. ;)

Why are they called chokecherries?

Find out before you eat one.

I am quite jealous, but love where I live so I guess I can't have everything.
