Yay for houses, boo for moving
Great News! We bought a house. It is a 1923 Arts and Crafts style house. It has lots of beautiful wood work and detailing. We have been looking for a few months but we finally found something that we could comfortably afford. We saw a lot of nice houses, but it felt like they were still priced so high even in a soft market. A very sweet older lady lived there, actually it has remained in the same family since it was built. Now we have quite a bit of remodeling that we want to do (blasted wall paper!). It is going to be a crazy October, but it is worth it to have a yard and a garage! Yay! Pictures to come soon.

Oooh, houses are fun to play with! I'm excited for you.
Congratulations!
Reading about someone buying a new house is always a little bittersweet for me because I'm excited for them, but I always feel sorry for myself and my crappy apartment and for all the future crappy apartments that I will live in as we move around to different states. We're still about 4-5 years from being settled (hopefully only one more in Wisconsin though), so a house/yard/garage continue to remain a distant dream.
Congrats guys! I am excited to see the progress pictures! Enjoy that garage, especially since it snowed already there right?
that's so exciting! i'm so happy for you! =] that's got to be the most awesome place to move too!

I'm so excited for you! I love older homes (don't love removing wallpaper, but there are worse things). Congrats!!!
