The Search for Home: Putting in a Contract

Ok, I have no time to write & post pics right now, but I just wanted to let you know that we found it. THE house. We both absolutely love it & the neighborhood is awesome!! It feels right in every way. My heart just sang when I walked through the door.

Just to warn you, THIS HOUSE IS UGLY. But don't be scurred. I have plans.

xoxo,
lauren

  3. Wow - that was fast! When we saw our current house, we knew immediately it was the one. It went on the market on a Friday, we saw it on Saturday, and by Sunday there were 5 offers! Those were the days...you rarely hear about this happening anymore.

    Can't wait to see the pictures.
