house pics...
Several of you have been asking about pictures... well, I haven't taken any yet because the house is still occupied and it would feel wierd to me to take pictures of it while someone else lives there. We just completed all of the loan documents! (so happy it's done) It's just East of Gilbert and just a couple blocks South of Adobe. It has 2 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, a 2 car garage, good sized pantry, a living room, famliy room, R.V. gate, and no trees in the backyard, which I plan to fix. I'm having way too much fun designing the landscaping and deciding which bushes and flowers to plant! I guess that's the Watson in me coming out, and my O'Barr side has quite a green thumb streak too. Anyway, if all goes well we should be moving in by mid to late July. The current occupants were palnning to move in a couple weeks anyway, so as soon as they move out I will be taking tons of pics so I can have before and after shots. Here are the pictures from the flyer:

HOME HUNTING!!!
Since our last post we've learned that Ryan tore a ligament in his right wrist. There's really nothing to be done about it because it happened so long ago, over 4 years, and it's mostly healed. It will periodically cause him some pain for a while longer.
We also put an offer on a house last week. It was countered and then we put one last offer on it which, I am relived and excited to say, was accepted!!!!! As for the fun paperwork... not too excited. The home has been professionally inspected, which found nothing major to be concerned about.
During the course of our searching for a home there have been a few things I've come to appreciate. Here they are in no particular order:
1. Soon Ryan's tools will have a home of their own in a garage instead of in the laundry room.
2. Watching Ryan's eyes light up as he proclaimed, "I can fix that," whenever I saw anything that I didn't quite like about a house.
3. Designing the landscaping of our future backyard.
4. The creative architectural designs of some houses, like the one that has an added on bedroom that you can only get to by going through another bedroom... Nice, huh?
5. Finally finding a house to put an offer on that was never a meth. house!
