Lucky Number 8....

Bryan and I have been married now for 8 years, we've moved 7 times to 7 different rentals with the exception of one, we lived with my parents for a little over a year while Bryan finished up school in the second year of our marriage ( yes that was way embarrassing and yes we were made fun of a lot but it was one of the best decisions ever ).
Lucky number 8, our 8th move, is so special because its our first home...our first home purchase, we are property virgins no more...as soon as escrow closes which is set for January 31st.
Our new home was built in 2010, 4 bedrooms plus loft, 2 and 1/2 baths, 2190 sq. ft. I believe it truly is the perfect house for our family and it was waiting for us because it was the last new house on the street to sell. I love the surrounding green belts and trees, catch and release lake and the park 6 houses down from the house. I also love the fact that our neighborhood or housing community is front yard grass only..I'm not a fan of the dessert look at all which is common in some other surrounding neighborhoods and communities. We are so excited to settle down and plant our "roots" in Arizona. Arizona really is quite beautiful and green to my complete surprise. Our city and neighborhood instantly reminded me so much of our hometown of Santa Clarita California.
Brooke has already requested her room be pink...I'm hoping to talk Bryan into a new dining room table that will seat more than just us four...and the backyard is dirt for now and will be a fun project to work on...I cannot wait to pack up and make our new house our home.
So cheers to hopefully a headache free escrow!
