We have an exciting announcement! We are expecting a new little addition to the Lively family. Here's a picture for you all to enjoy....
IT'S A HOUSE! We are very excited to finally have a house of our own. We are scheduled to close on Feb. 22 and then we move in March 24. (Since the owners' new place won't be ready til then, we made a deal that they can stay and will be paying us $50/day.)We're a little bummed that we can't move in sooner, but since we don't have a contract at our apt, we can be flexible. And we'll make a little extra cash.
The house is almost exactly what we wanted. Seriously, do you know how hard it is to find a newer house in a nice neighborhood that doesn't have an HOA or isn't clear out in Booneyville that is in our price range? Hard! Anyway, it's bigger than what we need now, but it has plenty of room for us to grow into someday.
(And plenty of room for visitors! Hint, Hint.) It has a great fully-fenced yard, a completely finished basement, the carpet is new and we don't have to do a single thing to it before we move in. Sure there are a few things we'd like to change down the line, but nothing pressing.
Here is a sketch of the floor plan.
So far everything is going really well. The inspection, appraisal, and loan stuff all went well, so now we are just waiting for the title company to get everything together for us. Please pray that nothing bad will happen to us like it did
last time we were about to close on a house. And keep March 24 open on your calendar so you can come help us move! :)

I want to come visit you, but I was planning on the weekend before (the 16th and 17th) :) Really. Too bad I will miss the new house. I will email you.
Congrats! Now you just need to have 5 more kids to put into all those rooms! Hint! Hint! I don't know if you have heard but your like 2 houses down from Kyle's girlfriend's, grandparents. Kyle had swimming lessons in that area a couple years ago too. It is a nice neighborhood! I bet you guys are so excited to have your own place. See, things always work out for the best & hello don't you think this place is nicer than what you didn't get a few years ago. I think you'll be so happy where you are! Good luck with things! BTW...I bet you'll have a blast vacuuming and cleaning all that house. :)
