Our New House!



Who's house is this and what is the address in the title, you ask?? Why, its OUR new house of course!! A brand spankin new Lennar home! And we got it for a screamin deal!

It's still being built but it will be done in one month from today, give or take a day...

Thanks to down payment assistance we will be
closing October 15th, the day of the cutoff. Lucky!


That's me standing in the garage! The windows in front are all the master suite. The little one on the left is the walk-in closet, the big one is the room and the one on the right is the bathroom.




The second and third bedrooms are on the back of the house and have the city views! This is the view from your room... (assuming whoever is reading this is planning on visiting us!!)







This is our huge kitchen... it has many standard upgrades, including all stainless steal appliances (fridge, dishwasher, oven, microwave) granite counter tops, and extra tall oak cabinetry! Plus, a washer and dryer!!















This is the master bedroom. It has a walk-in closet (with a window in it?) and that's me peaking in the bathroom. It has a super huge circular tub!

The house comes equipped (standard upgrade) with 2 inch faux wood blinds on every window.

They also gave us a $2,500 credit to upgrade the flooring, so today, I am going to the store to pick it all out!

The house is in a master planned community, so its all tree lined, and has lots of big parks and its all brand new!

The only downside is that Trent has a 40 minute commute each way to look forward to and with gas prices right now, YIKES! But, since they are taking care of our down payment and closing costs and all appliances and we won't be replacing any carpet or repairing holes in walls or buying blinds (or a million other things we were originally gonna have to pay for if we got into a foreclosure) we will have all of our savings plus however much more we save til we move in!

Oh wait, did I forget to mention the 5.25% 30 year FIXED interest rate?!? Oh yeah, that helps out the payment, major! It brought up our buying power about 25%!!

Anyways, we are super excited and we will post more pictures as the house come along.

Wood blinds slats are the lightest of all blinds and are generally the best bet for large windows. They are known to give a cozy feel to the room and provide the desired privacy, even while allowing enough sunlight to filter through the slats.
