BIG NEWS!!

Dave and I are under contract on our very first home!!!! We are so excited and if everything goes well with the inspection, we are set to close August 31st!!! My birthday!!! What a present huh? It's all happening! We are showing the place to the parents today and we are super excited!!! Wow, I am using a lot of exclamation points in this post huh?!? As you can tell we are psyched and I have been preparing my mini album from the beginning.

When we first decided to start looking at houses I went tot Michaels and got the house shaped mini albums from their dollar section. I got 3 just in case. I took pictures of the mortgage lady (she was thrilled) and our Realtor. i had him take pictures of us signing our offer and I journalled throughout the experience (like a diary) so I can then edit and pull what I want to use when I make the album. I am planning on taking pictures of the painting, closing, moving, and a few pictures of when we are all moved in. Maybe the last picture will be from our first Christmas. I am so excited to scrapbook this next HUGE step in our lives.

Given that everything is going to happen so quickly, my posts might be a bit more scattered. I will do my best to keep on top of it and find things to show on the blog, pictures and a few videos. Just don't give up on my blog because I plan to show the mini album being made in its entirety in MY NEW SCRAPROOM!! Yes, our house has 4 bedrooms and with no little ones yet, I will have my very own scraproom...a whole room! I am beyond excited and can't wait to share this large new step with all of you!

Any advice for scraproom colors, ideas, housing tips, moving tips, realy anything that could help me feel free to share!?!?!
