So, I think that I can safetly post about this now.  I've been waiting so as not to jinx it.  Kevin and I are 7 days away from being homeowners!  WOo hoo!

We found this lovely house.  It's a territorial style one-level house.  It has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.  Well, let me just show you some pictures.


Here's the front of the house. That big tree is a Pinon tree- so we'll be able (in theory) to harvest pine nuts. Mmm.  


Here's one of the nicest features of the house.  A sunroom!  It's entirely glass, so it gets lots of lovely light and warmth.  It overlooks this fantastic garden that the owners have painstakingly raised.


Here's another picture of the garden:

Apparently it has over 35 different varieties of irises in there.  It also has a plum, pear, and a peach tree that allegedly fruit!  Yay!

We close next week on the house.  The current owners want us to do a walk through soon so they can explain how to take care of the garden- what fertilizer goes where, etc.

I'm really excited.  The house is modest but still much bigger than where we live now.  We'll have a guest room so once we're settled, visits are in order!

    The place looks teriffic. I'm crossing my fingers to ensure that the deal goes through. What does the guest bedroom look like? And would it be ok if I stayed up with Kevin until 8am watching full metal jacket video clips on the internet?

    Congratulations! (It's Jennifer in Philly -- I don't think we are mutual LJ friends but I catch up on your LV from time to time). The grounds of the house look beautiful. I need to move to the west. I may enter the house market in Philly and it is quite different (obviously). Hope things are going well and you had a great visit with Jeanette.

      Yay! I added you as a friend. Even though I've had a livejournal for, like, 2 years, I still don't know how it works. It took me quite some time to figure out how to add you.

      And you totally got to move to Santa Fe.

      Babes - nice photos. You should attach a link to a map so SF people can see where we live. We actually filed this afternoon, so as I write this we own that friggin' house. Yuyp!!

    This is soooo purty! I'm so glad I got to see photos of the house. I definitely have to go and visit.
    Mom and I were thinking of going in June or July sometime. I can't WAIT to visit you!
    Laura, Fran and I were all thinking that you two REQUIRE a visit from us!

    Talk to you soon!

      Thank you everyone for the comments!

      Like Kev said, we signed all the papers and the title was transferred yesterday. So, the house is officially ours now! (Well, it's more like the bank's, but whatev'.)

      This weekend's plans: pack and move, pack and move!

      Yay!

  • Congrats KBren and Xtina!
