The House

Yesterday we had our inspection and everything looks pretty good. Obviously there are things that need fixing, but nothing that would prevent us from buying the house.  The windows and deck need to be replaced and some stuff done to the garage door as well as the crawl space, but other than that not much that can't be done over time.

We want to re-do the house completely as far as cosmetic work goes but I think we will start with flooring and paint and then work from there.

We were even happier with the house than last couple times we saw it and could really picture our family living there.  We've had some reservations about the house...mostly the size (can we realistically fit a family of 4 let alone possibly more here?) and the storage space (there isn't any).  There are no closets other than the bedroom closets which means no coat closet or linen closet.  BUT the good news is there are a lot of under-utilized spaces in the house where can add extra storage.  And the garage is a good size so we will be able to use that space well too.  Plus, Tyler promised me a storage shed eventually.  I've also been on pinterest and pinning like a mad woman to get ideas!

Although we've had reservations there is so much we LOVE about the house...a.k.a the view!  Like the inspector said, "this is worth the price of admission" while standing on our deck and looking out.  I can't wait to pull up some chairs, a bottle of wine (when I'm not preggo of course), and my hubby and just sit on our deck!

We also LOVE the location and town of Larkspur we are in a small town, but close to Denver and Colorado Springs, and close to Tyler's parents I timed it yesterday and just so you know Grandma Decker you are less than 20 minutes from your adorable grandkids!!!  Tyler is probably around a 30 minute commute to work which is totally doable and I can still make trips to the city to the zoo and museum without it being a complete hassle.

Last night we also had dinner at Kendall's with Tim, Kelsey, and the Harm's family and it was tons of fun and really good food!  Once the girls got their pajamas on of course Kendall had to put his on too so he didn't miss out on the pajama party!

Well, time for me to start some packing!  I probably won't be blogging much...you know since we are having a baby in about 3 weeks, moving, getting our house ready to rent, and taking care of Rilyn.  Yikes we are CRAZY!
