Amy’s newest trick is to sit on the arms of the couches.
Now, remember when I told you all about how I had BIG NEWS! and I wasn’t allowed to share yet? Weeeeell, Nat and I discussed it and he doesn’t mind if I blog about it now.
So anyways, the story first and then the photos.
Last week, one of Nathan’s work colleagues told him about a house for sale, quite cheap (read: 50k cheaper than other places about the place) so Nat and I enquired about it, thinking that it would probably have been sold already. (Yes, it was that cheap). It doesn’t look pretty on the outside, but the inside is nice, very comfortable, and we really liked it. (They could have cleaned up the yard for the photos at least, sheesh! It has had a lot of work done since these photos were taken btw)
Anyways, we made an offer and the owner accepted. It has so much potential for us to do things to it. Plus the yard is HUMUNGOUS, see? Can you see the teensy tiny fence in the back of the photo? Near the power pole? That is the boundary line.
Woooooo Hoooooo!
The kitchen has a large bench running alongside the edge of the photo that you can’t see, and the kitchen/living/dining are all open plan. No more slaving in the kitchen all alone. No, now I will be able to throw things at Nat if he doesn’t help fast enough.
SOOOOOOO, we bought a house! (insert squeals and jumping up and down here) Well, almost. We speak to a finance broker tomorrow, so please, cross every little thing you can, send us all the good thoughts, pray, whatever you do. Please, we need this house. I neeeed to get out of these rental properties. I need to stop moving. When (not if) we move in there, it will be our 6th move in 3 years. *sigh*
I will update tomorrow when we get home with what the Mortgage broker said. Either be ready with champagne, or with tissues and chocolate. K?
See more Weekly Winners here.
Ooh ooh ooh, how exciting!
I’ll be keeping my fingers, arms and legs crossed for you. I HATE moving, with a passion.
Can’t wait to see what happens!

Congrats on the house! It’s always SO exciting to plan how you’re going to make the house your HOME, isn’t it? Maybe a future Weekly Winner will be some hillarious project gone wrong 🙂 Of course, funny for us, probably not so funny for you!
