Big Announcement: New House!

Ready for some breaking news? Jesica and I are homeowners. We bought our first home earlier today after what seemed like months (it actually did take multiple months, but I mean it felt like 6-7, not 2-3, you know? Right…) of waiting and signing paperwork.

We’re moving to a relatively new house (built in 1999) in a nice development just outside of Mifflinburg. It’s in the Mifflinburg School District, which is what we were aiming for. The house is 4 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom, just under 1700 sq ft. We’re very excited to get to work on it and start moving in. We’re aiming for February but it might come sooner if we get all the work done we want…

There’s not a ton of hard labor involved, just cosmetic work and a lot of cleaning. We’re repainting every room of the house including all the ceilings. I’m sure I’ll be tired of rollers and brushes by room 2 or 3, but when it comes to painting you’ve got to stay persistent.

I figured I’d have more details to share but it’s 1:15AM and I’m exhausted. We’re planning on spending all day at the house tomorrow doing work too… In lieu of extra detail: have some pictures courtesy of Facebook. You don’t need an account to view them.

I’ll probably be posting more photos and updates as we get more work done and the sun comes back up (hopefully) so I can take more outside shots. Before I end this, an interesting anecdote- all month I’ve been commenting on the amount of rain we’ve been having and how we’re fortunate it wasn’t snow. Then I would follow the comment with “I’m sure as soon as we get the keys to the house we’ll start getting snow instead.” On the way to the bank today to sign the final paperwork, it started snowing. We’ve got a dusting of snow, but nothing too significant. I fear my prediction is coming true already…
