Finally!

Okay, after 5 months and 44 houses we have finally purchased a home! We are very excited needless to say. We are scheduled to close on the house Monday, June 14th. Just in time for us to go on our friend-family vacation the following Saturday. We will probably start moving once we get back the week of the 26th, *hint, hint* for those of you who want to help!-haha! We'll just need to put a gate up for Ally with the fenced back yard and paint the 2 bathrooms (this is a complete call out for help from Em right here, Josh get's thrown out of rooms when he paints with me) and possibly paint Jackson's room. Here's a pic of our new home that was on the listing page. Not the best quality ever.



In the backyard it literally has a gate to go to the elementary school in our backyard, it's in a cul-de-sac, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom,....We love it. Oh and it has a fireplace too. I've always wanted a fireplace! :) Perfect home for our little family.
The whole thing is bitter sweet though. We thought it would be a quick process finding a house and only staying with my parents for a few weeks-month. We have been here for 3 months and it has been great. We have been so blessed to be able to have a home after renting our house on Glenmore and being able to save some extra money while being there. We're very fortunate. Thanks Ma and Daddy! :)
I do think that all 3 of us are going to be in for a rude awakening when we leave in a month. Josh hasn't touched any dirty dishes the whole time, just me and Ma conquering those bad boys. And Jackson,...whoa buddy. He gets so excited in the morning hearing Popppop's boots coming down the stairs. He loves having Grandmommy there every day too! He tells her to watch him do whatever he's doing every 5 minutes...whatever it may be...pulling out pudding and scooby doo fruit snacks out from the pantry and trying to con her into letting him have some for breakfast. She's able to spoil him more and more. I am going to make Ma come to my house to watch our shows on Monday nights for sure. Dancing with the Stars and the Bachelor won't be the same without her beside me on the couch!

I feel like our time at Mom and Dad's has been so wonderful, I do hate to see it be done. However, I am looking forward to having a "home"!
