Aaaaaggghhhh!

Oh my goodness.....Today we bought a house!  Wow.  This was really unexpected.  Our original plan was to wait until the summer to buy, but my sister-in-law Leslie saw a house on the golf course for sale & thought we should take a look at it.  So, we agreed to scope it out.  It was wierd, because the moment we walked in, Jordan & I both agreed it just felt like home.  A week later, here we are with a $315,000 mortgage & a beautiful home with a golf course for our backyard.  Although some of the inside decor is not what I would pick out, the landscaping is beautiful and in great condition.  The best part is that it was listed for 380 (and a year ago it was 529....but since the economy has gone down the tubes....)  We bravely offered 300!  Yeah, you heard right.  We were obnoxious enough to offer 80 less than the asking price.  So, they countered with 340.....then we countered with 305!  Ha!  Then they countered with 315....and finally we countered with 312.....and we got it!  We are lucky that the economy is so horrible and that these people really wanted to sell this house.  It was owned by an old couple who recently passed away.  Their three children were heirs to the house and wanted it sold quickly.  So, there you have it.  The deal will close by Feb. 18th and we'll start moving in.  Crazy.  Life is so unpredictable.

I'll post pics soon :)

P.S.  If anyone knows of some furniture that needs a good home, let us know :)  We have NONE!   

Rebel Fans Caught

At last night's Rebel game, James & I were caught by a photographer from the LV Sun watching the game on the bigscreen, whilst the rest of my family was watching it live from the stands below (James was getting a little upset with all the noise).
