OK. We did that thing I’ve been mentioning on and off for awhile now. We bought a house. We actually bought it a couple of months ago, I’ve just neglected to write about it because I was busy doing it.
It is, in fact, a little cottage just like I had been dreaming of, and with that little cottage goes plenty of work. Our house is a 1939 brick cape cod with 3 or 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (I say 3 or 4 because at some point a closet was removed from one of the bedrooms to make a bigger bathroom). We bought it on Oct. 22 and moved about a month later - just before Thanksgiving when we hosted 6 family members.
Here’s a picture of us on the day of our closing:
