It's cute, It's old, Best of all it's OURS!

I finally took a picture of the outside so I could post a picture!  It still doesn't seem real that we have our own place.  Maybe it won't sink in until we actually move in.  We had put offers on 3 other houses before this one and didn't ever end up with any of them.  It was very frustrating...  But as soon as our offer got accepted for this one I couldn't believe it!  It is in the best location with 1/2 acre lot, and plenty of room for our family to grow(much better than any of the others).  We always said when we were looking at houses how much we love the old red brick houses.  Now we have one!  It won us over when we went to look at it and we walked into the back room  and looked out a huge window over the valley.  Yes it needs some work.  But that makes it so we can make it just how we want it.  I can't wait for our adventures to start in this house.  It is a whole new beginning for us to do together.  We are very blessed.  We feel like it is the perfect spot for us to be now and already met most our neighbors.  They have already helped us so much and been so overly friendly I can't believe it.  It has been so nice to show up at our house late to work on it and see that our driveway has already been plowed!

Well my brother started having headaches and a sore back so my parents took him into the chiropractor and they found that his vertebrae was fused together, so then they took him to a specialist. Three months later he had the surgery. He is doing so much better now. He has even started going back to school. Only for half a day though. Thanks for your concern.
