Well We finally did it! Lorne and I put in a bid on the house just behind us in the alleyway, one street over from us and the Bank accepted our bid. This house is a bit lower in price than the first house we looked at and it's a fixer upper, but, for the money it's a great house with loads of possibilities! We found out on Friday the 21st that the bank had accepted out bid and as long as things go smoothly will close on it December 17th. WOW I'm still in shock that we're actually purchasing a home! I'm taking a cue from my brother and his wonderful wife and have decided to make a blog spot to chronicle our journey into home ownership with blogs and pictures of that journey to share with our family and friends. The home itself is a three bedroom 1 bath up and 1 desperately unusable bath in the basement all of which will have to be gutted and redone. nice structure with downstairs(main floor) living room dining and kitchen. it has a 1.5 car garage and a decent size back yard that will keep me busy for a while! All in all though this is going to be a home for sure once we get the work done that needs doing before we move in. I knew that we would get the house even before anyone else knew.. just felt it in my gut. I'm excited but it's going to grow once we have the keys to it in our hands. Keep us in your prayers as this is something that's been while in coming but so happy it's here, and while I'm sure that you all are a little disappointed that we won't be moving back to Texas in the foreseeable future, this is where I believe we are meant to be. And with the price being so reasonable it will allow me to stay at home a bit longer and be all that I can be for Catherine. Lots of love and more posts and pictures to come!!!!

Welcome to our Home Blog
Hi there !
Lorne Patty and Catherine here along with Mugsy , Stinker, Sister and Gus Gus, welcoming you to our page and hope that you enjoy our journey into new home ownership of an almost 100 year old house by our best guesses and it's journey to becoming our home. This little house has been sadly neglected and needed a good set of owners with a vision and a dream of having a house of their own. So we have taken on the Challange of an older home in need of some TLC and are about to embark on a journey that will take us who knows where but with hopes that we'll do right by it. Stick around and follow us as we move through the paces of renovating a home and making it our own! I'll be embarking on not just the renovations but of some digging into the past to discover it's roots and how our roots will tie into it as we go along!
