Sorry to keep a secret from you guys, but I have a small announcement: MC and I are closing on our new house on Friday.
I mentioned in a post a while back that we'd been outbid on a house we really, really loved. It was an oddly confusing development for me at the time, because people always say that when you find your home, your intuition tells you unequivocally that you're there -- you feel it in the pit of your stomach. And I did! Well six whole weeks later, the deal fell through and we got a second chance (thanks to our realtor Ginny Hannon, who continued emailing the seller every week to check, even though she spends her winters on a sailboat in Grenada!). Now, we'll have the keys to our new home on Friday.
There are too many details and emotions for me to mention right now, but don't worry, there will be much about our new house to come! It's a historic Arts and Crafts style American Foursquare built in 1927 and WE LOVE IT. It's a wonderful house. Wonderful to build and live our life in, wonderful to renovate and fix up, wonderful to look at. It has the space, neighborhood, character and style that I would never dream to find all in one home and I can't wait to tell you more about it. :)

Being a homeowner is a rewarding (and hectic!) experience. I have been a homeowner for about 10 years and it's been an interesting ride for sure. Unfortunately this is not our dream home, everyday I daydream about our next house and how wonderful it will be. We just have to be patient and wait for the market to improve so we will be able to sell.
Good Luck with the home repairs, decorating, and the move!!
Congratulations!!!
It's such a beauty!!! I'm really happy for you two!!!
