First thing's first - we bought a new home! We began looking because there were so many great homes on the market and the interest rates were remarkable! Once we got pre-approved we called up our friend and realtor Melissa to start our search.
We looked at quite a few, but after heartbreaks and let downs we finally found THE ONE in Belle Plaine! It was a blank slate - which is great for Rich and I, because we really wanted to add our own touches. With an unfinished basement, bathroom and laundry roughed in, this was the perfect find. Unfinished is 1300 sq ft for $145K.
It might be further away from friends and family, but we are ready to continue our life and meet new friends in a beautiful new area!
So far we have painted the Kitchen and Living areas. There are some touchups needed, but it's looking fantastic! We picked up an electric fireplace to add to the ambiance of the living room - and boy does it look great! Beautiful old-fashioned design to mix with the modern elements of the home. We got all new furniture for living and dining and we are so pleased!
We are still working on unpacking (we moved in the weekend before Christmas). That is definitely taking a lifetime!
To go with the new house, Rich got a new job! He is working for Buhler Group Inc out of Plymouth, but he mostly travels. He is a Customer Service Engineer and is really enjoying it!
More to come!
