OK....so in hopefully 10 days or less (probably more), Anthony and I will own our first home. Let's cross our fingers! We have been waiting for about 3 months now for this house and cannot wait to move in. It's located in Carol Stream and has a much better commute than I'm doing now. About 20 minutes less! I'm not a car person. I can't stand driving to and from places. Pretty much any time Anthony and I get into the car, I walk to the passenger door. He also "claims" my driving makes him sick. Which I think is a lie because I'm a fabulous driver. But more about the house..
It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home. It has a living room and family room. A 2-car garage. It doesn't have a basement or crawl space, so we'll see how that works out. We will have to do some remodeling, but we will have to wait on that. The kitchen cooking area is pretty narrow, but we can definitely fit a pretty big table in the "eat-in" part.
We will be getting new appliances for the kitchen, but I know that we can't get them ALL at once. Or at least that's what Anthony tells me. I really want to remodel the kitchen, but I know that costs lots of money, so we'll see what he let's me do. Men could basically live in a basement with a T.V., a fridge filled with beer, and a recliner and be happy. Women on the other hand want a little more class than that. So we'll see what I can get out of him.
I'm not one for painting, or using power tools... so I know that can get pricey hiring people. Any one know of any good painters that can get the job done well at a low cost? We also need to get new carpeting and possibly wooden floors in parts of the house. We'll see what happens. Let's just hope that everything turns out for the best and we get this house soon!
For now.. I have a picture of the outside of the house! :-)
Not too shabby eh? And the best part is...the address is the same numbers as my birthday! Woohoo! So now Anthony can't forget my birthday.
