Life's a roller coaster

This past week has been crazy, with both ups and downs. We went to look at houses last Sunday, and walked away with an offer on one. It all happened really quickly. We found a neighborhood in West Chester that we love. It is convenient to the highway, has lots of kids, a community pool, centrally located for both Matt and I to drive to work, within our budget. We went that day thinking we were going to make an offer on one we had seen online, but at the last minute went through an open house down the street and realized we could get a bigger home for the same price. The house was owned by a relocation company, so they were willing to take a low offer on the house.

It was an emotional few days for us. We had the highs of knowing we had a house, plus the fears that we didn't love it and it wasn't the right choice. After doing a second walk through of both homes on Wednesday with the realtor, we were reassured that it was a great decision. The closing is set for April 10th, so as of next week, we have a new house. Ahhh!

The house is on a corner lot, it has 5 bedrooms, and a finished walkout basement with a movie room. We are a bit overwhelmed by the space and size of the home- but i'm sure we will fill it in time. Here are a few pictures.

On a side note- the morning sickness is definitely not passing. I had the pleasure of throwing up in a cup on one of my drives down to see the house this week, as well as staying home from work Thursday feeling horrible. I know i've got to be on the verge of this passing, i just know it!!! As the title states, this week we've had one heck of a ride.
