Home Sweet Home

So this is the house I have been approved for, pending my credit check, and I am so excited! It is really close to where I work so no more getting on the freeway, and it is zoned for the school I want Ned to go to. It will literally take me minutes to get to work in the car.

It was built in 1940 and has only ever had one owner, and I am not sure whether she moved out to a nursing home or died last year - I don't want to ask! It is just so cute and retro like, I love it. The master bedroom is so much bigger than mine, with a little vanity area off the bedroom that leads to my own bathroom! And the garden out back is lovely, a perfect play area for Ned and hopefully it will be nice enough to have his birthday party there in June. It also has a basement where I can do my laundry and store stuff, and as I am a pack rat, I am sure I won't have too much trouble filling that place up!

I am sooo excited! Moving house again was something I didn't really anticipate until I realized that it would be so difficult to get a variance for Ned at the school I wanted. But I really feel that this place is our home so I am really pleased we got it.

And now, I will be moving on my second 39th birthday - hurrah, I think!

TOOOO cute! How very exciting. Congrats!! I can't wait to see pics of the inside. And that is great news that it's in the school district that you want for Ned. That is a HUGE HUGE issue.

I am sorry you have to actually move though, that is so much bloody work. YUCK.
