Notes from my week.
We bought a house this weekend! We have been looking to move for a while, but it’s been tough in this crazy housing market. On Saturday, we finally looked at a house we loved (and could actually afford). There was a good amount of competition, but we put in an offer and they accepted! We’ll close in the middle of August, right before school starts up again. It should be a busy month.
