The Baker's New Pad

Well, I mentioned it last week, that something big was in the works. We weren't actively pursuing anything, but we actually found a house that we fell in love with, and 2 days later put in an offer on it. It was too good to pass up, and the next day they accepted.

We had some issues with the air conditioning and had to make sure that was going to be fixed before we left our option period, and as of tonight everything is done and officially ours. We are set to close on the house September 14th, in just a week and a half!

The new house is in Cedar Hill, just 10 minutes down the road from where we live now. It's a 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath. It has a pool and hot tub, a large backyard with lots of grass for Colin and Brad to toss the ball around, and even has its own playground complete with slide, swing, and see-saw. It needs some cosmetic work, but the bones are great! We plan to take our time and make it our dream house over the next 5 (or more) years.

We are sad to leave Panavision, it is the first house Brad bought, the place we met and fell in love, and the place that we have made our home over the past 18 months. But we are even more excited to enter a new phase of our lives together, this is the house we will raise our children in and the house we will grow old together in. It will truly be "ours."

And for all those who are concerned, yes, I'll have to REPAINT that nursery again, but it will be even better in the next house. We've already lovingly taken down all the animal trains and they will be hung at the new house.

Below are some photos from the new Baker residence.
