It's a done deal

Things are changing and changing quickly...holy moly we are officially homeowners.  After many starts and stops over the years in searching we found a place we both love and closed escrow at the end of May.  This project will be a major labor of love because it's a fixer upper.  We are buying from the ORIGINAL owner...they bought it direct from the developer in 1962 - wow.  AND they hadn't done a thing to it since they bought it.  Killer pink and blue tile as was all the rage in the 60's...parquet floors and a furnace that looks like a classic car.

I feel like a grown up now with a flippin mortgage.  Forget the part where I got married and had kids (any idiot can get pregnant as evidenced by MTV) but taking on this massive financial responsibility makes me feel "mature" or you know, old :)  So onwards and upwards, up the hill to the new house.  Fingers crossed that "Work Betty" can keep this project on track and on budget so we aren't bankrupt by the experience.... check out the pics!
