We Bought a House Yesterday

So have not been blogging about the process of buying our house, because I don't really want to remember all of the ups, downs and long waiting periods that you have to go through. We put an offer in on our house March 27th and we closed yesterday May 22. It has been a long process mostly because we bought a property that was in short sale (which it seems almost every property is in short sale) and you have to deal with a bank and seller. Anyway, there was lots of waiting and waiting and more waiting, but all in all, it wasn't too bad. I think the most trouble we had was May 21 when we were supposed to close and things just kept popping up that needed to be taken care of. So as of yesterday it is official, we are homeowners again.
Here are some pictures of the new place.

Master Bedroom - This has an on suite with double sinks, jetted tube, separate shower, toilet nook, and walk-in closet.

Sophie's Room - There is a walking closet here too.

Garage - This picture is from the stairs that lead down into the garage. The main floor of the house is basically on the second level. There is a daylight/walkout basement so that raises the rest of the house. It is not a split level there are just stairs on the outside leading up.

Living/Great Room - That lady standing behind me is our Realtor Dorene (she is bite size and super awesome). This is our main living space and it is open to the kitchen and dining area.

Kitchen - The living room is toward the right of this shot and it is taken while standing in the dinning room. The white door is our pantry. We bought a fridge and it will be delivered on Tuesday.
