Buying a house!

I still cannot believe it: we put in an offer on a house. We already got a counter offer, to which we are going to counter again. This is all going so fast, it has not quite sunk in yet... God willing we will have bought a house by next week, with the closing somewhere in the beginning of December. That would mean Christmas in our own house. I am not quite grasping the reality yet; I have never owned a house before!
It is gorgeous, across from a park on a quiet street. Lots of light in the kitchen and living room, 4 bedrooms and a downstairs playroom, double car garage, and a nice size yard. KK is already envisioning her Jenna running around, the puppy she has been wanting for a long time now. She has already decided on the sex, name, and colors...all we have to do is find one that fits the description. Sure, it's not like we have anything else to do!
Alexander is oblivious to it all; he just wants us to play with him and talk to him. I know he will like the new house too: it is much easier to childproof it once he starts crawling and walking.
If it is God's will, it will happen!
