Looks like we'll be moving soon

Our realtor called me this afternoon to inform me that our offer on the house has been accepted. He's coming over this evening with an addendum and some other paperwork for us to sign. He feels like we will be able to close before the first of September.

This is the front of the house.

It's a little more than 1000 square feet on the main level, but has probably about 600 to 700 feet of finished basement space as well. Once we get closed we're going to definitely have to roll up our sleeves and get busy because it needs some work inside. It needs new flooring throughout and the walls in the bathtub need to be re-tiled. But it appears to be pretty sound structurally (we'll know more about that after the inspection).

Anyway, we're pretty excited that God is giving us this opportunity to get back into a house.
