Home is where the heart is

Today we found out that we will officially be homeowners! YAY!

Still not sure of the exact dates yet (the sooner the better as we only have two weeks left in our rental). But we are SUPER excited, and also a little petrified (that's a whole lotta debt).

Want to see some sneak peaks?
View from the street

Our new bedroom

Down the hallway looking at the front door, and off to the left through that door is the kitchen.

In a strange way I think this house was meant to be. We were looking at a completely different house when we stumbled upon this one. My parents place that we wanted to buy - let's pretend their address was 24 Cat Street, well this place is 12 Kitten Street (not our real address). But it seemed like a sign to me.

And when we went to see it inside it just felt like Us.

Congrats!!! It's beautiful! And that is exactly how I felt about the home I bought when I walked into it the first time. I just had that feeling of, "This is mine." Even though it wasn't mine yet. So glad to see this post from you and glad you're not going to be homeless! Congratulations again, welcome to home ownership, and enjoy it. :)
