Wow it has been a long time! I wonder if anyone even bothers checking our blog anymore? Probably not but I will write anyways :)
It's been a pretty crazy Summer for Sean and I but we have had a lot of fun and have been really blessed. In April we started house hunting and made a couple offers with no luck (what housing crisis?!?!). Each house we made an offer on had at least 5 offers above list price. The third time was the charm though, we found a house we absolutely LOVE and our offer was accepted by the seller in May. Unfortunately it was a short sale and we spent 3 very nervous months anxiously awaiting to hear from the bank about if they would accept our offer. Finally at the beginning of August everything went though and we have been getting everything done and ready to settle. Our closing date is September 18th and we move in the 19th! We are about 2 weeks out and have everything done.. all that is left now is to wait! :) After 8 months of waiting for this, I think I can wait 2 more weeks. I promise to put up pictures as soon as we get in and get things a little organized. Its a 3 story end unit townhouse with 3 bedrooms, lots of room vaulted ceilings and a 2 car garage (which is Sean's favorite part!). We are super excited to get in there and get settled into our own little place.
The Neumann's have been so nice to let us stay with them and we would not have been able to get started in a place like this without them. D.C. is soooo Expensive! I cant even believe it! Not only houses and property, but groceries and clothes... everything! It's like a 20% mark up from everywhere else! Crazy! Anyways, we have been really blessed with them letting us stay with them and we were able to get and keep good jobs through this rough economic time. Things have really just fallen into place for us out here and we feel so grateful.
We have made some really good friends out here. I have a group of girls that I get together to do YOGA or some kind of excercise every week and I have really enjoyed that. Sean has some good guys that he works with and I love the girls that I work with. We are both just really happy. Things are working out for us, although a lot of times it takes us a while to see... I have such a good husband and good family and In-Laws, I cant think of a time in my life where I have been this happy!
I promise to put pictures up of the house soon and be better about writing!
