Signing our life away?

So, what's that worth? Hopefully we'll find out today as we intend to sign on the dotted line.

I think we found a house!!

Finally.

After calling about close to 40 properties and visiting close to 20 of them, we decided on a house yesterday.

No, it's not perfect, but NONE of them are. They are too big, too small, too old, don't have a yard, the yard is too small, already rented, no parking spot, no pets allowed, the stairs are too steep, too close to the train station, too much traffic, too far from town, too close to town, the lease is too complicated, and on and on and on.

Soooo, no, this one isn't perfect either, but we are making it work and we are excited about doing it!

Yes, there are multiple staircases (don't seem quite as steep as our current ones, but stairs nonetheless)

Yes, it is old (but has lots of character with nice wood floors and some high ceilings)

Yes, it's waaaay too big for just the two of us - 3 bedrooms, 2 dining rooms and an office (but all houses are either really small or really big)

Yes, it has a little yard for Winslow (and a small pet is allowed)

Yes, it's in a desirable area close to town, and the best part ... see that green neon cross? That whole entryway underneath the bay window is the apotheek :)

We get to move in on my birthday!
