OH MY GOD WE BOUGHT A HOUSE

[katekat]

Or, rather, we made an offer.  And they made a counter offer.  And we accepted their counter offer.  And now we're getting inspections and Neil's measuring the rooms and they changed the MLS listing to "pending" and everything is coming along so fast it's making my head spin.  It doesn't feel quite real.  Yet nothing could be more real.

We keep asking ourselves, when did we turn into adults?

So, you wanna see it?  There are some fabulous pictures from Neil's cell phone here.

teee hehehehe! Thanks love! You'll hear volumes more about it soon, i'm sure, since i can't stay away from the phone and since every day brings more stuff that Neil's doing for it (he's going to measure today...mmmmm, measurments!)

love,
kate

Check the foundation.

And the roof.

And the wiring.


And dont' trust those fucking texans as far as you can throw them.




....seriouslly...foundation, wiring, roof.

[katekat]

Check. Check. Check.

Can't throw texans...they throw back. It gets messy. But I promise to keep an eye on all of 'em cuz they're shifty.

That's so exciting and it looks lovely; best of luck on it! ::hugs::

[katekat]

Thank you!! It's so bizzare, but exciting at the same time!! *HUGS*

Cool! It looks great. Still south of the river?

[katekat]

It's just a little starter home, but I think it'll do us well. And yep, still south of the river, although now it's out at William Cannon & 1st street area. (I know, far away from the city, but we had to go out to be able to afford anything... and it's still a cute house in a good neighborhood.)

Yay! Congratulations! I know that buying a house is a very scary thing.

But, trust me, it doesn't make you a grown up. My husband and I decided we'll officially be grown ups when we have matching bedroom furniture.

[katekat]

OOO! You're sooo right - that's a totally good litmus test (and since we don't, we're still kids! yay!)

And it is a weird and kind of surreal experience, you know? Everything happened so fast too - we started looking online 6 months ago, but we actually *went out* and looked for houses for 2 weeks, and now, here we are, with... a house! But sometimes that happens...

Congratulations, sweetie!! I'm so happy for you guys!

[katekat]

[katekat]

thank you!!

It's scary shit, this house-buying thing, but you'll be relieved once you can move in.

Congrats!!!

[katekat]

lol - truer words were *never* said. God it's scary. But I can't wait to actually get my hands on the KEYS!

(and thank you!!)

[khaoschilde.livejournal.com]

Congrats. Quite the scary, I know. But there is something magical about knowing that those walls are yours to do with as you please.

[katekat]

Thank you! I'm so looking forward to paiting actual *colors* on the walls (since we've never done that in any of our rentals)... and the fact that the walls are all just OUR walls, and we don't have to share them with anyone else. Or hear anyone else on the other side. *grin*

YAY! DANCE OF JOY!!

thanks dearest lady! this also means if you ever make your way down to texas (and obviously, once we've moved in) there will be a guest room... it may only have pillows for a bed, but it'll have a closeable door. ;)

woot. Y'all's house is so PRETTY!

[katekat]

lol! Thank you!! Hopefully we'll get to pretty-fy it more, too! The BF wants to paint the fireplace deep purple for a start.
