Travis and I bought a house. We don't officially close on it until September 12th, but we have already started picking out paint colors and are trying to arrange our furniture. We closed on the current house we are in on Monday and will be moving out Sept 4th....."where are we going to stay?" you ask...my parents are letting us move into the basement for that week before we close....hopefully our cat & dog won't wear out the welcome too early that week! We are having the house painted this Thursday (to help with the appraisal and insurance). The house is definitely one you would drive by, the exterior paint is rough looking and dirty, but the inside isn't in that bad of shape. The owners just painted a latex based paint over an oil based paint and it is peeling like crazy. That happened in our current house too so we are used to it. The only problem this time is I can not be around the fumes to help paint (darn!). I guess the whole house will have to be painted (atleast with the oil based primer) before I can move in. That will probably take a few days so I won't be moving in until probably the 17th. On a little side note, something else we have to look forward to this September is our 19-20 week ultrasound.....we get to find out if it is a boy or a girl!!
