New house

Well I thought I would blog about this, before months go by and I still hadn't written about finally getting into our new house. As it is we have had keys to the house for almost a week, and I am just now writing about it lol.

As many of you know, you know what a ordeal this has been for Lewis and I. We found out that we were going to get kicked out of our house on Post back in March. They are doing rennovations on the houses on the streen we were living in, so wanted to move us to some different houses on Post. Well Lewis and I went and looked at the ones they wanted to move us into, and we decided that it really wouldn't do for our family, so we decided we wanted to buy. We started looking that day, and pretty much found the house we wanted right away. Now came the fun part. We thought we were home free because we made an offer and the sellers accepted it right away. We were thinking "well this is easy" HA. We put in a date for closing, after all the inspections and everything for April 27th.

So then we started the fun proccess of financing. We found a bank that we really liked and they were working with us really well, but then we found out they couldn't finance us because of they type of house we are living in. SO they took it to a different bank, and they didn't have the underwriting staff they needed to do it so they sent it somewhere else. Finally they started, but they kept getting pushed back. So needless to say we didn't close on teh 27th of April, or the 15th of May like they said would be the next closing day. It got pushed back three times. Until FINALLY on May 27th, one month after the original day, we signed for the keys.

ITs a really nice house, and I am glad we bought it. My kids have already found Frogs in windowsills, and garter snakes (which Luckily I have not seen yet), so they are loving it here. Alex has made a couple of friends which is great, and I am glad. He didn't have many options on Watie Street, so glad he has some here. We are slowly but surely getting unpacked. One thing about moving is that you really realize how much "STUFF" you have. Its crazy. Luckily this house is big enough to store it all plus some lol.

I will try to post pictures when Lewis takes a couple of seconds to get the pictures for me from his camera. He doesn't even have his computer set up so just need to wait for him, then I will do my best to figure out how to post pictures. I will go into more detail then about the layout of the house and what it looks like.
