We Have a Mortgage

We are now homeowners, well, condo owners for the same price of a normal home. It's been a long wait and to be honest there were many times I wanted to just forget it and move into a rental. The researching, viewings, waiting, and more waiting never seemed to end. Eventually though, it paid off. Yesterday we closed on a condo in Mountain View, CA that we've been trying to buy for over 3 months. It was a short sale, then foreclosed on, went to auction twice, but with a lot of persistence we were finally able to buy it! It has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and an office...so plenty of room for visitors:) There is a lot of remodeling we'd like to do before we move in (and before the baby arrives). We definitely have our hands full, but we are super excited!! I'll try to take some pictures before the demo begins!
