Don't you love when unexpected things arise?

First, it was an unexpected cruise to Mexico, booked late enough that we got a fantastic deal.

Now, we are unexpectedly buying a house! I know you are thinking that it's difficult to buy a house unexpectedly. I agree.

My husband had his eye on the housing market to prepare us for the future. We thought it might be this year that we buy our first house (the stimulus plan, despite its faults, definitely helps first time home buyers!), but probably later in the year. Well, later came a little sooner than expected! We found this cute 50s cape on a quiet street with a nice piece of land and we decided to go for it!

My mind is almost exploding with the decorating opportunities! A brand new craft room! Paintable walls! New curtains! Gardens! New floor in the kitchen!

The sweetest thing is watching my husband peruse the hardware stores. They are relevant now. He's almost a homeowner!

We get to go in the house tomorrow for the first time since signing on to buy it, so I'll be back with pictures!


  1. Oh how exciting! I hope it goes well! And the moving and the plans... How fun!

  2. Congratulations! You must be so excited! I can't wait to see pictures ;-)

  4. How exciting! Can't wait to see pics!

  5. How awesome! May the Lord bless your new home:-)

  6. Wow, that's great! You're right, it's definitely the time to buy at the moment - prices here are going down all the time, the only problem is getting a mortgage! You must be so excited :-)

  7. so happy for you to be getting into your first home. it will be so delightful to see what you do with all your ideas. have fun and don't try to get it all done so fast.

  8. Oh, Congratulations to you and your Hubby! And you know what? I also think it's so sweet the way he's totally into the whole DIY look men get at the hardware store. Too cute!!
