We bought a house!

I honestly never thought I'd be saying that as long as we were still living in San Diego.  We are very excited to say we bought our first home and get the keys this Thursday!  It is in the same neighborhood we live in now so close to work, school and the beach :) 

The past few months have been absolutely nuts.  Between the offer and bidding process to switching lenders mid-way and pulling financial documents for weeks, buying this house has been like my third full time job.  Buying a house and getting a loan is certainly NOT easy these days.  Let's just say that if you happen to be late making a car payment, be prepared to provide a detailed explanation as to why, in writing, 7 years from now.  Oh and if anyone happens to write you a check because they owed you money or because it was your birthday, also be prepared to explain why you received the check and from who and give the person who wrote you the check the heads up that the bank will come after them to!  Man, there were times I didn't think we would ever get approved but we did :)

We have exactly 2 weeks to paint the entire house, carpet, re-landscape, pack and move!  Yes, May is going to be NUTS! But very exciting. 

Many, many more pictures to come but below is a picture of our new home :)
