Back to Blogging...

Well it has been awhile since my last blog but so much has gone on. I would like to say PRAISE THE LORD my health appears to be back to normal. There have been no unplanned Dr's visits for about 2 weeks which for now is wonderful. Also, John and I have made a big move in our life and signed a contract on a home. As some as you may know John and I have expressed an interest to leave the Atlanta area but we came to the realization that this will be just a few years and rent was just looking daunting. So we decided to take the plunge and purchase a home. However there were many things that we took under consideration while looking that all needed to be "yes" answers....

1. Could we resell this house in a few years and make a profit?
2. If we were unable to move in more than 5 years and raise a family would we be happy in this home?
3. Could family visit and not feel like we were all on top of each other?
4. Does it have more than .5 of an acre?
5. Is it in an established neighborhoord?
6. Is it in a good location from work? I-85? Church? Play?

So with all of our considerations met we found a GREAT place and if all goes well we will be closing on 10/28/05.

Now here's the home details. It's was built in 1990 and is on 1.01 acre in an established neighborhood about the same distance as our apartment so commutes are still wonderful. It's approx. 2400 sq ft with 5 bedrooms and 3 full baths. There is also a detached garage with loft storage and the yard is completely landscaped and partially fenced. It also has hardwood floors in the "common areas" (living room, dining room, kitchen, sitting room, hallway and foyer).

Granted it's a great purchase for us but there are some updates that need to be done but all in all we are thrilled!! Here's a picture!!



And on a side note when we signed yesterday we were able to celebrate by going to Elton John (thanks to Careerbuilder.com one of my vendors). It made for a wonderful weekend!!

YIPPEEEEEEE What a blessed time!!!
