Bedford Stone

Anna said it well today: we are on our way to being knee deep in diapers and debt. Well, actually, the diapers have been there for a while, but the debt is about to get much, much bigger.

We officially signed a buyer's-seller's contract today for a Bedford stone ranch house - a lovely home we've been smitten with since we first saw it over a month ago. I'll try to post some pictures of it in the coming weeks, but for now we just ask you pray all goes smoothly with the acquisition of this home. We will have an inspection on Monday to verify the house is not destined to fall into a sink hole, and we are in discussion with a bank to secure the loan.

It gives me great delight to know we are possibly going to be living in a house with rich ties to Indiana history. Plus, Anna and I are hopeful we'll be able to make it something of a modern living space for the three of us. The previous owners were an older couple - into their 80's I believe. So, it definitely has some updating to do here and there. But, we're just thrilled over the possibilities. Well, that and the yard, which is full of older trees, protective shade and a small patch in the back for a garden.

I'm already full of anticipation and nerves ...
