After putting in numerous bids on homes near Dane's work and getting out bid each time, we happened upon a foreclosure in the Selches' neighborhood, and to our delight it is now ours.
We moved out of the playroom-thank you again Hardys!!- and into our lovely abode about one month (filled with ever-so-much sweat and elbow grease) after we were given keys and 10 hours after we had one fully functioning bathroom (smiles).
We had to clean; fix leaky pipes,faucets,sinks,roof tiles; knock out a wall; re-texture the other walls; tear out carpet; clean; put in new carpet; patch tubs; paint every paintable surface(I never thought the painting would end-thank you selches!!); put in lights/ceiling fans-Dane is so proud that we did them our selves, we're learning to be handy; find new working appliances; clean, clean, clean, and oh, did I mention clean (:
We still have more to do and fix, but we've been informed that from now on we will always have more to do and fix. Today I'm just excited that we are down to only 5 or 6 boxes to unpack-mostly books- and tonight we finally have some blinds in the front room! yay! only 2/3 of the windows left! hah!
Really we just feel so blessed and grateful.
Thanks you soooooo much to everyone who has helped! You are wonderful and we love you!!!
(Thanks Grandma Beverly for reminding us to post pictures- sorry they're not the best for now)
loves to all.
