Our first house!!!!

With Joe and I both working (Me retail at Dillards and Joe an office assistant at Arm Hauling) We figure now is the time to buy our first house.  House Prices are skyrocketing these day and I feel like if we  don't get in now we'll looses out.  Plus its an investment.  We want to start having kids soon also so our dinky one bedroom apartment isn't going to cut it.  Its 1,539 squar feet and we paid 150k We looked and tons of town houses.  The ones we were interested in would get bought up before we had a chance to even make an offer.  We feel super rushed and felt the need to get into a house right away.  So we found this town home for the price we wanted to spend and jumped on it.  We were the first to make an offer and we got it.  The lady who had lived here previously smoked and had a bunch of cats so we had to remove the carpet and had the vents cleaned out.  Much better!!! That place was filthy!!!! YUCK! I was worried we would never get the smell out.. but we did :) We chose red for the living room walls which I love and brown for the kitchen and other rooms.  Nolans room is a butter color and the den is gray.  We are super happy with our little house.   our goal is to sell in a year or two and get into a nice home with a yard....
