House hunting
I’m not sure why I have not had the motivation to post since Christmas, but here I am.
Over the 2 weeks I had off work, Evan and I viewed around 12-15 houses that we thought we might like. We found several we liked, but one of them would have meant me driving around an hour and half to get to work and Evan driving around 35 minutes. We decided that was just too much driving. There was one house I loved, but Evan didn’t and one house Evan loved, but I didn’t.
Finally we found this
This house sits on 6 acres and will take me around 40 minutes to get to work, and Evan will drive around 30.
We have put an offer on the house, and after several counter offers, we came to an agreeable compromise with the sellers. Our closing date is set for the 12th February and we would have possesion two weeks later.
I am trying not to be excited, because we still have to get an inspection of the house, to say that it is safe, etc. We also have to finalise a mortgage. So, until those two things happen, this could fall through. We don’t have any reason to think it would fall through, but I don’t want to get my heart broken…so I am not getting too excited yet. However, I wanted to share pictures with people and answer any questions too.
Such a cute place. And totally jealous of your six acres to be!

He is Communications Director at Brady Lane Church in Lafayette. He is loving it! So, we had to buy a house halfway between Lafayette and Indy so that we can both get to work easily!
