WE HAVE HOUSE!

Well all the effort we put into house hunting (I swear we looked at almost 100 houses) and the stress (putting in 2 unsuccesful offers) was so totally worth it. We found OUR HOUSE! I mean seriously... it has EVERYTHING that we wanted in a house. It is perfect! It has an open concept with the kitchen looking onto the familyroom (which is really BIG). It has hardwood floors and tile in the kitchen. It has a gorgeous kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops and a big island, with a little overhang so you can pull up some bar stools. 4 bedrooms. Decent (Toronto standards) sized backyard. It is at the end of a cul se sac. With a path 20 yards from the front door going to a great playground and then a bit further onto the kids' elementary school - they can walk to school without setting foot on a street. It is three blocks from a lake and it is a 15 minute commute for me during rush hour.

We close on August 31st! I am over the moon.

CJ will be going to the inspection on Wednesday and he'll be taking pictures. I will post some for you all then.

So... in 5 weeks we'll be open for visitors! :) We'll have to have a house warming party some time in September. You are all invited. A prize goes to the person/people who travel the farthest to attend. There is plenty of room for anyone to stay with us!

Here are some pics I took the other night. I love them. I need to load some photo editting software onto my computer though so I can get rid of the red eye.
