After our tour I was actually ready for a day in with the boys. Mike had to head into work on Thursday and also head to our unofficial house to give it a look through. He ended up being able to get another appointment for that day and sign the lease. WHOO HOO! So, we officially had a house on Thursday, but we could not move in until Friday because the place giving us loaner beds, couches, and a kitchen table was not scheduled to deliver until Friday. And who wants to sleep on the floor right?
We ended up taking a load of stuff over to the house Thursday night though, a trip which had a dual purpose. We took the stuff over, but the boys and I wanted to see our new house too!! All we had gotten to that point was a description from Mike and we were all excited to get to see where we would make our home for the next few years.
The house feels SO big!! We were eligible for a 4 bedroom because of the new baby. All the bedrooms are upstairs as well as our first linen closet ever, lol. Mike and I have a master bath and so the boys will have their own bathroom. That will be a change from sharing with them the past two years. A welcome change I think! Downstairs is another half bath, nice big kitchen, family room, dining area. There is another big space, which is tile rather than carpet, which we will be using for our school area and my scrapbooking. I have a huge laundry room and there are two big storage closets too. This Mama is SO ready to be organized and set up!
We also have a detached garage and a nice big patio leading into a small-ish backyard. The yard opens up to a nice wide area where the boys can run around as well as play on the little play structure that is right there. Down the street is a bigger playground and a splash pad. Apparently the splash pad goes out quite a bit, but we enjoyed playing there a few days ago so we will enjoy it again when we have the opportunity.
