Our current home

We got our first house! We close on May 14th and then we are doing new carpet, paint, doors and appliances. We hope to move in towards middle of June. After we move in, we will work on landscaping and new grass (sod). Currently I don't have any pictures of the house but can write about it. :)

It's 4 bedroom, 2 bath with a "bonus room" that is unfinished next to the garage. It will currently serve as the man cave until we decide to finish the room and make it a 5th bedroom. It's almost 2,000 sq feet and has a wonderful backyard with beautiful covered patio and waterfall (that is broken). It has tile flooring throughout the kitchen, dining room and hallway. Granite counter tops in the kitchen and gas fireplace. There a about 6-7 mature palm trees in the front yard with spotlights on them and a cute little front porch to fit my bench swing. :)

We recently found out that in 2006, this house sold for 295k!! And we bought it for 127k! We are able to get the 8k Federal Tax Credit and the California State Tax Credit as well for 6k. We have been truly blessed with this house and cannot wait to start working on it and move in!

As I talk about this new house, I know I will really miss the house we live in now. We live in a beautiful gated community with such great neighbors and quiet streets. Here are some pictures of our current home that will be missed.
