Faraway, So Close

As some of you know, we've been doing a bit of house hunting since finding out about the new member of family due to arrive in June. We had to put our acerage dream on hold for right now due to some zoning issues friends of ours were having, so we being to look around at houses. Housing in Saskatoon has taken off like crazy, jumping approx. $30k in the last 5 months alone, so we weren't sure what we'd be able to find that we could afford.

Luckily, thanks to my sister being on the lookout for us we came across a house in the Mayfair area of Saskatoon that we feel in love with. The couple who were selling did a ton of reno work and a lot (if not all) of the choices they had made with paint, tile, etc were what we liked. Plus the folks who were selling it (private sale) are really nice and work at the University too.

Anyway, long story short(er) - we've all but purchased the house. We're waiting on lawyers to do their lawyery things and come April 5th, we'll be moving in. Housewarming party to follow shortly. You can see pictures of the house on my flickr page by clicking here. The photos are (obviously) of the house as it is right now with the current owners furniture/decorations/etc. so it probably won't look quite as nice with our stuff in there.

We'll see you at the housewarming party on April 7th sometime later in April. :)
