While I was in labor Matt put an offer on a house; I say Matt because as he was asking me what the offer should be I was breathing through contractions (I had to tell him this was going to be his decision). Now, I saw the house twice before he put the offer in. I was nearing a week past my due date but I knew when I walked in the house that it could be our home. It had a good vibe and I instantly pictured us entertaining in the space and was thinking about what room would be the nursery. As we were leaving the hospital and getting ready to bring Mason home with us we were still getting calls about the house and working on landing on a price the seller and us could agree on. Luck was in the air and all the stars lined up; we got the house for a great price and the inspector said all the craftsmanship on this gut rehab was done impeccably!
On November 26th we closed on the house, with a bottle of champagne in hand Matt and I opened the door to our new home! One that we picked out together, the place where we are going to raise Mason and grow together as a family. We couldn't be more excited about our house and all the amazing memories we are going to have here.
Matt and I become suburbanites on December 3rd! A special thanks to Aunt Cathy & Aunt Cheryl for helping us clean pre-move (it was a huge help). Thanks to my mom, dad and sister who helped us tremendously throughout this process and who continue to do so. Thanks to Uncle Carmen for helping Matt with getting a car and moving some boxes from my parents. Last but not least thanks to the Greenes for all the help with the move and unpacking. Without all the extra hands Matt and I would still be living in a house full of boxes and surrounded by chaos! Don't get me wrong we still have plenty of boxes to unpack and plenty to do but we made lots of headway with all the extra help.
We can't wait to host our first party in 2013!
