CHANGE of plans....(what else is new)

So, true to our "style" of life, we changed our moving plans slightly. Originally, we posted about this cute little house in Allentown that we were going to have to do some remodeling on-rip out floors and walls, paint everything, figure out how to make 2 bedrooms into 3, etc. Well, the sellers of that house have been taking their good old time in our negotiation process and have been uncooperative in regards to some repairs that were to be made and issues that should have been taken care of per our agreement of sale. Over the past month, we've had much time to think about this decision since they would take a week or so to respond to anything we sent them. We began to loathe the amount of work we would have to do-with the added stress of me being pregnant and unable to do things I normally enjoy such as painting and what not, and kept thinking about the fact that we would be in a school district we don't exactly prefer, and we would be putting several thousand dollars into this house in order to make it what we want. Since we had the time and our real estate agent is super helpful and patient, we went around looking at other houses to make sure that we felt like this house was right for us. We were about to give up because we had looked at an additional 10 or so and found nothing we really liked, and then my mom mentioned some near her house.
Ok, let me review the fact that I have NEVER pictured moving back to the LV in the first place, under any great circumstances, much less have I imagined moving back to the same area I grew up in, same zipcode, seriously 1.5 miles away from the house I grew up in. That was just NOT "my thing." Well, clearly, life bends and twists and takes you places you once swore you'd never go, and your mind changes and begins to realize the silly reasons why you drew your original map out in the first place. I'll spare you the long story and say I got over it and realized that I loved growing up in that area as a kid, and I loved the schools I went to, so I'm sure that our kid will love it and have a great experience as well. Works out.
Continueing on...we were in Allentown last weekend for some things, and my mom drove me past this twin home down near my high school. It was cute. I looked it up online later that week and we set an appointment to see it for Saturday (now yesterday) morning. This house is completely finished, has 3 bedrooms (which was lacking in the other house), and is in move-in condition. Many other details to come as we get pictures and what not. So...we decided it's exactly what we're looking for and exactly where we want to live, put a bid in when we got to our agent's office, and within 4 hours, had worked out a deal with the sellers. Oh-small detail, because the sellers of the allentown house did not agree to do some of the repairs, we were able to ask for a release and request our deposit back, so we did that paperwork yesterday as well and are officially done with the allentown house. So between 8:30am and 5:00pm we reached an agreement on a different house, one we completely love, and Jonathan had an interview with Allentown school district that seemed to go really well. Amazing day.
That's the only pic we have so far of the new, and FINAL house. Has a nice yard in the back as well, and 2 dead end streets running in front of and aside of the house so no traffic. Yes, we are quite thrilled.
Anyhow, I have to run, we have a few loose ends to tie up with this today...but yay, we finally feel a peace of mind about this whole house situation, and have NO WORK TO DO in May! :)
