Sweet Home Alabama!

Well many of you don't know that Cole and I are now residents of Alabama. Cole was given PCS (permanent change of station, military lingo) orders to Ft. Rucker to be an instructor pilot. This is great news because it's an almost (nothing is a sure thing in the military) guarantee he will not be deployed for at least 3 years! Yea! We were planning all along to buy a house and continue our rental house endeavors so we visited the area in mid-April and met with our realtor and looked at a bunch of houses. We went back to Texas with a few promising houses to decide on. Well the next month and a half was full of offers and counter-offers and two failed attempts to put a contract on a house. One family even took their house completely off the market! I guess we scared them with our tough bargaining skills. So we moved down here with Gus and Ginger and no home :( So we started the process all over again. Cole fell in love with this one house in Ozark. When I say fell, he talked about it in his sleep (jk). I liked the house but there were some aspects of it that were not so appealing to me. Well Cole needed some type of closure and asked what price I would be willing to ask for this house. Well I said some absurdly low number and we made up an offer. You should have seen my face when our realtor called and said the offer was accepted! I still can't believe it! So here are some pictures of our new home! We actually bought the house at $50,000 off the asking price (we haven't bought it yet, there is still the inspection to be completed). So we're hoping to be able to move it at the end of this week (we'll have to rent the house back from the original owners until the closing date). So enjoy and we'll have the address out when we know it!
