Our New House!

I am so excited to share that Mike and I have bought a house!! And we are so very excited!

We knew we wanted to get a house before Baby VerSchave came, so we started the house hunting process this summer.  We probably saw around 20-30 houses and were not sold on any of them ~ none felt like "home."  While Mike was growing impatient, I tried telling him that our house was out there ~ we just needed  to be patient. After getting pregnant took a little longer than we thought it would, I've learned that everything happens for a reason and at the right time.  God has a plan for us and it will all work out.

Finally, we found it.  Our home! Where we will bring our baby home, watch him/her take his/her first steps, and where we will welcome future children and build countless memories.  I cannot wait! This house is perfect for us.  As we walked around the night we saw it, Mike and I just kept looking at each other like "wow!"  I fell in love with the remodeled kitchen, Mike loves the finished basement.  I love all kinds of things about this house and cannot wait to make it "our home."

Our closing is one month from today, on September 28th and it will give us plenty of time to get it all ready for Baby VerSchave's arrival!  I'll have my two week break in October to get lots of nesting done (hopefully with the help of my mama!) We'll be able to get the nursery all set and have everything ready!  It will be fall (my fav!) thus not too hot (hopefully) for all the moving we'll be doing ~ baseball season will be over, the school year will be in full effect ~ see...God's plan!  Perfect timing for Mike and I!

Not only am I excited to bring baby home, I am so excited to be done with apartment living!  Don't get me wrong ~ I've been so lucky with the amazing apartment I've called home for the last 6 years and I will miss it once I'm gone.  But the idea of not having to schlep laundry back and  forth to my parents, have kitchen cabinet/counter space, and central air is so exciting.

In the weeks leading up to the closing, I get stressed with all the emails, paperwork, inspections, etc. but then I start to dream about the months after the closing and the stress lifts away.  Decorating for fall...our first trick or treaters...bringing home baby...the holidays...being cozy warm on a snowy winter day...
