Home Sweet Home!!

Although we can hardly believe that it's actually done, we have the papers sitting on our computer desk to prove it . . . we bought a house today! It seems a little hard to comprehend, especially since we saw our house for the first time less than 48 hours before it officially became ours. That sounds a little scary, but we are so excited!
On August 1, we will be moving into our cute little bungalow in the southwest of St Catharines, in an up-and-coming neighborhood. The house is right across the street from a park with a playground and a baseball diamond. It's a cozy little place, with three bedrooms, one bathroom (with a claw-foot tub!), a kitchen, living room and dining room, and a full unfinished basement. We love the beautiful hardwood floors which are throughout the house, as well as thick wood trim around all the doorways - it certainly has lots of character! It's 10 kilometers from Heritage, which is fantastic, and it's also on the bus route which is wonderful. After looking at a good number of other homes, it was exciting to walk into this one and realize very quickly that this was "the one". We are in love! August is so far away . . .
Ahhh! There's all this excess energy and excitement bundled up inside of us that it's hard to keep from bouncing around the walls, and it's pretty much impossible to concentrate on anything. 71 days till we move!!
