House!!

Well, there is big news up in here. I've been quiet as things have been all touch-and-go. But, we found out tonight (FINALLY) that we are in contract on a new house!! If you'd like to check it out, you can CLICK HERE to see the listing. (You'll need to ignore some old furniture and odd billiard table in the living room.) It's twice the size of our current home! And is on a cul-de-sac in a really quiet, gorgeous neighborhood near a really nice lake/park. It's a pretty big upgrade! The owners are older (and have lived there the last 30 years!) so there is a bit of updating to do - but all cosmetic stuff (I'm talking to you, bathrooms!) The bones are great and the important stuff (HVAC, roof, windows, etc) are all new. The neighborhood has its own, very active, HOA. We will have access to a private community pool, park, and snow removal via the membership in the HOA. We're pretty much big time adults now. 

Wm is really excited!! He will now have his own bathroom and a much bigger bedroom. Wm had his own "must have list" and he said this place "checked all the boxes." Some fun items on Wm's list are: a microwave mounted over the stove, stainless steel appliances, a wood burning fireplace, his own bathroom, and a finished basement, and 2 car garage. I'm not sure why most of those things matter to him, but he was intense about it. He's a weird little dude. 

And, the 2 most important things: the HOA does not have a breed ban, so Flip is welcome AND Flip will have his own room! If you're looking at the pictures, the office, with sliding glass door access to the large backyard, is Flip's room. We are having a doggie door put in the sliding glass doors and he will stay in there while I am at work. I won't be able to come home for lunch anymore since this place a bit farther form work (should only add 5-10 minutes on to my commute, but just enough to make going home every day a bit of a nuisance) so, Flip will have more room, access to the backyard for doing his doggie business - but will NOT have access to the whole house!

On that note, here are some pictures of fun stuff:

Yeah. Cutest.

Guess who his favorite guy is
And now we have to go get ready to sell our house!! It should sell quickly, but it's always a pain to deal with selling a house. The last time we sold, Wm was a baby! At least we don't have an infant this time!!
