Ahh, everyone take a deep breath and let out a big sigh of relief. We FINALLY closed on our house today! 2 months later, and a lot of drama, it is finally something we can put behind us. We took the major leap of faith to move out last weekend 'before' our closing-b/c they would not hold our apartment any longer, I requested the day off at work-so I would have 4 days to move AND we already got a uhual, packed everything and were totally ready to go.
Well, thank goodness-b/c now we are all settled in and at 4:30pm we signed off the deed.
We still owe a lot of money, but once we get our escrow check back in a few weeks things will look better for us! God has been so very gracious, and we are very blessed to have sold our place in this market. He also has provided a great place for us to live in, and we really love it!
We haven't had internet or TV for the last week! So I haven't been able to post on here, but now that I can I have pictures of our place!
I put a description of the pictures so you know how the layout works and what things are...we have a lot of family that might never see this apartment, so I thought I would make it detailed for them so they can feel like they visited=)
This is not at our place, but I just haven't taken a picture of us in so long, this was the only one I could find! I guess that means we're really busy when I have no pictures, lol=)
This is the entrance when you walk in the apartment, I have some pictures up, but not all the pictures-I'm still trying to find the rest of my frames. (thanks to my mom for hanging these!)
This is the guest bedroom that is connected to the bathroom, and it also has another door to enter as well. I have a twin bed there for now, we are hoping to get a double bed soon...and the random teal curtains in the corner are just there for storage-I need to take them to storage b/c they aren't going up in this place. So they won't be there normally. And when I say storage, I mean, my gracious parent's closet=) lol.
If you turn around from the bed, this is on the other wall-our diploma's and wedding picture
and wedding album (the black thing=)
Bookshelves holding Jordan's wonderful medical school books...and then a few of my books I hope to read, the rest of our 20 thousand books are in storage now.
Jordan's study nook and my craft area=)
This is the kitchen area-thanks to Mrs. Carl for putting all my kitchen stuff away and organizing it!
The red stuff I have looks better with the white appliances than it looked with my black ones...so that's good. I do miss my counter space and storage at the old kitchen though....
If you turn around from the kitchen table, there is this little wall (that door is the guest bathroom) and its right around the corner from the front door. It just has a little decorations, and holds our keys and stuff like that.
View of the other side of the living room-on the left there by the couch is the sliding glass door for the patio-that is where the dogs have their beds and their toys (didn't take a pictures of that though=)
Walking past the living room and you have a coat closet on your left and then on your right is the master bedroom
If you walk in the bedroom this is on the wall directly to your right. This is our amazing clock that I think is soo beautiful and unique. It was a wedding gift from Jordan's grandparents.
Then you will find on the floor two little curious doggies.
This is the walkway-with the master closets to the master bathroom (pretend your walking backwards=) That cross needs to be hung btw.
And this is the view if you just walked in our master bedroom (sorry the pics were a little backwards there). I took these pictures WAY late at night so that is why the windows are shut, it looks really nice and open in the daytime, I like it a lot.
Just a view from over by my side of the bed-you can see where it leads back to the closets and bathroom. The pretty flowers on the dresser are from my 3rd grade show the other night! (I plan to post pictures and everything about that later)
And this is the really cool new 'porch potty' that I had the idea for and my dad brought to fruition. It has a draining system-and real grass-and it is perfect! I love not having to go outside for them to go to the bathroom-they just use the doggie door you see there and go when they need to!
Those are all the pictures I took. I am so thankful that I could get everything situated and moved in so quickly. I hope you can come by and see our new place soon!!
I will be sending our new address in an email probably b/c I don't really want to post it on there.
