Thanksgiving and a NEW HOUSE

Thanksgiving was at Mom and Dad's in Virginia this year. Jaxon does pretty good in the car.  Its about a 5 hour trip.  He had so much fun with Mimmie, Pop Pop, Cousin Maddie Grace, Aunt Meredith, Uncle Michael, Great Grandaddy, Great Aunt Celeste, Great Aunt Wendy, Great Uncle Jim, Cousins Ally, Lauren, Montana, and Bill.  He started sitting up by himself at my parents.   He was so proud of himself.  He tried bananas for the first time mashed up in his cereal.

We had the car loaded down coming home.  We are so excited to be getting a new house soon.  Brian and I will be homeowners together for the first time. So we brought home free moving boxes that dad found on criags list and boxes full of stuff that we had been storing at their house.

I posted probably back in the summer about our adventure house hunting and the wonderful real estate agent that God allowed to come across our path.  We we've been taking our time going to look at houses and finding some online.  Thought we found one, but it was't in a good area and there were some major things wrong with it.  I was bummed it didn't work out.  But I knew that God had other plans.  Brian was working out at the gym one day and was looking in the real estate magazines and found one that was worth looking at.  We loved the house- sits almost on a acre of land, has well water, screened in porch, 3 bedrooms plus a bonus/attic, garage, plenty of room between our neighbors, and in a great neighborhood.  Its not too far from where we live now.  But the only thing was it was out of our price range.  We still looked into it some more and put in a low offer and worked our way up to our final offer.  We negotiated for about a week and were within $2,000 of our final price.  We were so excited.  Our agent said they listed it too high to start with.  So inspections were done, repair request was sent to the owners and WE CLOSE ON DEC 7. Its so soon. We have lots of packing to do and not enough hours in the day.
