* We Bought A House!

" What?!?! We bought a house... "

Maybe you had no idea we were even looking- but don't feel left out- not too many people knew. With Aaron and I both having some silly superstitions... we didn't want to get our hopes up on too many places {once we started sharing details- things started to not work out in our favor} so we just kept it to ourselves as much as we could hoping that we would have fun news to share- and now here we are... we bought a house!!! We had out closing on Thursday morning.

I will share more details and stories of the house along the way- but for now, here is a photo tour for ya {enjoy!}

*Route 202nd St. {East} Forest Lake, MN
*Welcome to 8890, "THE house" {and here you are in the landing}

*Upstairs Living Area {from every angle w/ new plush carpet!}
*Kitchen & Dining Rooms {sans appliances}
*4 Bedrooms {2 up/2 down}

*3 Full Bath {meaning showers in each!}

*Rec Room/Living room/Office/{the green room, aka the old 2 car garage}

*Here one can park 3 cars {or maybe just 2 cars and a woodshop?}

*The basement {lower level w/ more new carpet}

*Peeking out a couple of the windows

*A walk around the house

*and our most favorite part..... THE YARD!

Some additional info: The home is on 10 acres, mostly wooded {which we LOVE lOve love!}, it's out in the "country" {meaning not in town} of Forest Lake. We won't be fully moved in until we are home from Cabo. During these next 2-3 weeks we will be busy cleaning, working on some small "little" projects and painting {I know I know... the yellow paint is pretty and all but.... hey!} Aaron's current task is getting the new appliances all hooked up {they were delivered today 1.29.10, stainless steel slide in gas stove, dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator}.

Expect more updates here and there on this blog! We can't wait to have you over to check the place out- yahhhhhhhhhhhh! :)

Oh and, you also might be asking... "Do I still have the Townhouse?" and the answer to that is "Yes- we are in the process of working to get it rented out- and hoping to have tenant sometime in March.
