Promised Land?

Here it is the Tremont house. We have been looking at this house for a little while now and it is really the perfect house for us. Even the way that it came to us was of the Lord. Brian finally gave me the ok to post about it. His Boss's wife Caroline just came into his office one day asking him if we were still looking for a house. Her brother owns it and she thought it would be a perfect fit for us. As soon as Brian pulled up this picture, he knew it was the house for us. It is, less than a mile away from the Sussex- Westover - Yeardley neighbors we love so much.

The thing is that if we were looking on MLS we would have never seen this house because of the stats. It's a 2 bed 1 bath but is 200 more square ft than where we live in right now. Brian and i have always wanted to find something that was just enough for us & that we could manage. Every-time i look at a bigger house i get all excited about all the room but i literally get sick to my stomach thinking of cleaning day. OH MY GOSH.. i can barely keep this tiny apartment clean. Brian and i have known since we saw the outside of this house, peeking in the windows (we couldn't get into it for like 2 weeks because of a key issue) that this house was so right for us. Instead of having our 20yr plan the way we did with the other house. We are just ready to do what we can do right now. It may be 2 years maybe 10. We just know this is the right house for us for right now. I'm getting excited about being creative with the space. It is such an great open floor plan i just love it. Lucy's room is already painted bright pink, i love it!

We have closed on the house and have started work on it already. This is moving month We'll be sleeping in it the night of June 1. Yippee!! We have been having some trouble with the type of loan we got and some work has to be done on it before they will release the funds - don't ask what that means cause i don't know really. So in my mind it's mine but it's kind of not yet. In purgatory maybe? We have to put up a fence, fix the chimney, get the bathroom done and some odds and ends, then i guess we're done. We have to do all this by Monday. I'm quite frustrated to be honest, but i've talked about it so much i just don't feel like doing it again. I know it has to be done so i'm trying to just bite the bullet and get it done. I will post b4 and after pictures as we go along. And i promise to post pictures of France and the beautiful things we saw. Right now this is my special memory of the trip. Have you ever had a Beignet? ok, with Nutella? OH.MY.GOSH. France from my preggo perspective.
