The fiance and I are purchasing a sweet little town home about 10 minutes away from where we currently live!

We searched high and low, we saw the crappiest craptastic stuff that the real estate market has to offer, then out of no where, we found our home.

I don't know if we were seriously looking-- we could have stayed in our apartment for another year at least, but we decided to just check out the listings and to visit the ones that caught our eye.

Most of what we saw induced vomit.

However, one day, we went to visit a town home. It's cute and yellow with blue shutters. It has three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and it looks like it really was well loved. It has a fenced in back yard (small) and a balcony off of the kitchen. The neighborhood is beyond cute and inviting.

When we walked in we just looked at each other and smiled. After we were done touring, we looked at each other and said -- this is it! It's not perfect, it needs some work, but it works for us.

I don't know what it was about that house-- and to be frank, we can't even remember what color the carpet is. The only thing we remember is the feeling that we got when we walked in.

Let's hope we weren't high on fumes when we were touring because as of today, it's ours (well if all goes as planned).

We put in an offer on Monday evening and she finally accepted today. It was stressful and neither of us slept for two nights, but now we know.

We're celebrating with Shepperd's Pie and Champagne.
