Home....

So today I went to look at a house. My cousins boyfriend is selling this house & my real dad & step mom thought of me... so for the heck of it i went to see it. i liked it. i have soooooo many ideas for this house! it is not perfect... but it is workable. my thoughts are this: my boys will be moving out in the next 3-5 years. i will have it payed off by then... then i am scott free right??? lol
so when you walk in, there is a tiny living room, then a bigger dining room... im going to have to knock the divider down to make it one open room! small living rooms are not acceptable to me =)
the bedrooms are nice sized, the bathroom is tiny but not as tiny as what i have now... so its doable. the kitchen.... wow! it is going to need some work but i am patient and can do a good portion of it myself so its cool. the basement is not finished it doesnt have central air but that can be worked on also by next summer. there is a little sunroom on the back that will be vincents room until we build a bigger room onto it. i think this will be a good learning experience with me and the boys and building stuff together. i am going to see how much of it we can do on our own =) so i will be posting pics as we move in (in sept) and get the renovations going on!
i am very thankful this opportunity fell into my lap & i didnt sit and think about it to make myself not want to do it, i am just taking this on a whim & doing it! it is $200 cheaper a month than my rent now... land contract for the first year until i get all my stuff paid off and in order... so my wonderful blessings are much much appreciated at this point!
