Jake and I are very excited. We have just arrived back from North Carolina, after a fast paced week of house hunting, and we have come back happy to announce that we have bought our first house. The closing date on the house is 23 October, so hopefully everything goes well with that.
The house is in Elm City, which is a small town, in a pretty rural area, about 20 minutes outside of Rocky Mount, and Wilson which are 2 bigger cities nearby. The house is on a 1 acre lot, has 3 official bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, dining room, big kitchen and an extra room that can be a 4th bedroom, den, office...whatever. It has a covered porch out back, and an above ground swimming pool, with LOTS of back yard to do things with. We are sooo excited to own our first home and get all set up. The new house will be pretty empty for a while though, because we don't have nearly enough furniture to fill up a full sized family home. We were even more thrilled to get a great interest rate on our mortgage. We got a fixed rate of only 4.875% , so that will make the 'burden' of our mortgage so much more bearable.
Here are some pictures. These are both pictures that I took, as well as pictures from the listing, so they are all of the home with the current owners furniture still in. I will update pictures in a few months when we are moved in with our stuff.

What the heck is soaking in the master bathroom sink? Seems kind of weird, you should just stay here. See? I looked at your pictures before going to bed. I'm such a good friend.
Oh yeah... the house looks pretty awesome!
I logged on hoping to see pics of the house and you had posted! Yay! They look great. I like the house. However, I google mapped the town and laughed outloud when I saw it's meager 6 street square size. Ah, small towns are quaint, right? ;) I agree with Tara, you should just stay here.
Your house looks great!! I am jealous, one day we'll have a house of our own!
The covered deck looks so fun and I love the pale yellow paint inside.
Looks awesome! I am so happy for you guys. I hope that your transition into your new home is smooth.
