We bought a house!

Eric and I bought a house! It's so crazy to say that. We just closed on it yesterday. This has been such a dream for us, I can't believe we are here. We are so excited for this new chapter where we can settle down for a while.

We put in an offer and it was accepted before the coronavirus craziness started. We are praying the market doesn't plunge after all this but we are excited nonetheless. It did make for an interesting closing though.

They had us in a room all by ourselves, while they spoke to us through an iPad from the room right next door. They also had a plexiglass wall in the middle of the table in case any communication needed to happen in person. Not to mention plenty of gloves, disinfectant, and pens fresh from the box at our disposal.


Below are pictures I pulled off the listing so none of the furniture is ours - I'll share updated pictures once we are moved in.

Our new house is in Lanexa, 15 miles northwest of where we currently live. So it will be a little bit of an adjustment being further out of town, and sadly a little further from my sister - but we are hopeful the extra distance won't be too impactful.






It does back up to a canal off the Chickahominy River which is a dream. We have always wanted to live near water!


We still have another month before we move in - I think that will also be an interesting process now that we are all on lockdown. Eric may be doing the majority of this move solo. A huge thank you to mom for being such a huge help and support on this journey!
