You Wanna Know A Secret?!?

For the past couple of weeks, I have been being a Shady McShaderson revolving around some important news for Big Man, myself, and our Little Home. 

I hate to be all vague in tweets and posts because if you know me at all, you know that I am horrible at keeping surprises and such. But in this case I thought it was best if I stayed mum until we got some closure on the situation and a little bit of guidance. Now there is still details to be hammered out and an important one still has to get settled but since for all intensive purposes it seems like a go, I miswell say...

WE'RE MOVING!!!!

Oh...and we're buying said house.

Yes, you read that right....we're buying a house and if all goes through, we will be moving this summer. 

The reason I have kept quiet is because this is not like a regular house buying and there is a few things to work out between multiple parties still. If you remember awhile ago, I asked a serious question on whether we should buy our current Little Home which is only a one bedroom (and that we rent). It was a resounding 'no' by the blog world but Big Man and I actually discussed it and we're considering it up until this past week when we were proposed a quite different offer. 

You see, our landlord is actually my BIL's brother (my sis and BIL who live 3 doors up from us) and in between my sister and my house lives my BIL's mother. She is single with 2 dogs and she proposed to us last week that she move over here, since she is getting older and doesn't need all the space and that we buy and move over to her house which is a bit bigger. 

We thought she was bullshitting us at first and we brushed her off but after seeing she was serious and hearing the kind of offer she was willing to negotiate (great price plus we will be renting to own which will help us a bit with trying to save for our future etc.)  Big Man and I talked about it and realized this was an offer we couldn't pass up. 

The two things we were worried about with buying our current house was that it was only a one bedroom and it would be a hard resale in this or pretty much any market and that it didn't have any room for us to grow a family. This 'new' house on the other hand is a 2 bedroom/ 2 bath with a separate living & dining room, as well as a kitchen, laundry/mudroom, finished attic, unfinished basement and garage. It needs some cosmetic work as the style she has is not ours but redoing the house (painting and such) in our style is something that Big Man and I are looking forward to. 

Again, details are still discussed and not everything is 100% yet but if all goes as planned, this is what should be happening and I needed to finally share. 

Keep your fingers crossed for us that everything goes smoothly and that we will be in a new to us Little Home soon : )
