Richmond Lane, Here We Come!

I know that you are all smiling about the weird coinkydink, but I honestly believe the good Lord was trying to tell us something. After about 37 houses, we kept coming back to one of the first ones we looked at. Sure, it's a little farther for Mike to commute, but it's in an awesome neighborhood with a basement and kitchen to make anyone drool. And, it was priced right. I had asked our realtor to schedule another showing of it while I was here this week and it happened to be the first one we were scheduled to see. On our way, she told me that there was an offer on it, but the two parties had not been able to come together on a final contract. To make a long story short, we spent our time the last two days trying to decide if there was anything we liked better. In our hearts, we just couldn't justify spending more for less. It's an amazing house and one that we will be very happy in. Seeing the moms walk their kids around the neighborhood is a very cool thing to see. So, we made an offer tonight, and after a little back and forth, we have a deal! 1346 Richmond Lane in Bartlett, Illinois will be our home. We are absolutely thrilled! We will close in Richmond on June 3oth and then in Bartlett on July 1st. And after all was said and done, I am QUITE excited about the new front-loader washer and dryer that we managed to ween out of the deal and Mike is stoked about the pool table. I guess Luke will follow in his father's footsteps and be a pool shark. But, we know we will be very happy there and enjoy the things that are most important to us - raising a family and sharing with friends and family.
