Small step for some, HUGE step for us...

Hello everyone,
Yes it's been awhile, but we really haven't had much to report...and now WE DO!!! For the past little while we've been looking around for a new apartment and while looking in a housing book we found that our bishop from our singles ward is a real estate agent. So after much deliberation we decided to meet with him just to kind of see where we stand financially in the house purchasing world. Next thing we knew we were out looking at some places that our realtor had found, and then suddenly we were signing papers, initialing in all the right spots, and making an offer on a townhome.
The offering and countering went back and forth a couple of times between us and the seller, but today our last offer was accepted! So after tonight we will officially be under contract and on our way to buying our very first home.
Some quick details about the place (since we have no pictures):
992 Sq Ft
Two bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths
Two floors
Complete with laudry room, back porch area, small storage shed, and two covered parking stalls right outside our back door!!!

We are getting so excited to get started in making this place ours...of course we can't start until everything final and the others get out, but still. Those of you who know me (Jeanette), you know that I love interior decorating and have been envisioning the changes we can make and the things we can do to make the place our own!

Congrats!! It is so nice to have your own place. A place where no one can tell you what you can and can't do. Very awesome for you!! Post pics when you get a minute.
