The Scoop

Alright...had to make some time to give an update on life this month. It's been a busy time. Scott and I found a property we love...the house is just beautiful and the yard is the right size and layout. It has a major drawback (backs on to a busy corner) but we thought about it and weighed the pros and cons and decided that this home is for us.

It's a beautiful 2 story home, with loads of charm and character. There are a number of mature trees and a great sized yard where we'll be able to hang out. I'll attach a couple sneak peek pics!

Now, we still need to have the conditions removed before we can really say "it's OURS"...but we're getting there. We're both pretty excited about this home and have already started visualizing furniture placement, improvements we want to make over the years, and I'm already dreaming of the beautiful holidays we'll spend in our new space. It's got a lovely brick fireplace that will certainly make our Christmas gatherings warm and inviting! :)

So for any of my blog readers (I think there are a few of you out there!??) - I will try to update more regularly once this whole house deal is sealed. :)

WOW!!! Gorgeous!!! The sad thing about buying a house in St. Albert is even the older ones (30 years) like the one we just bought do not have the character of this beautiful home!

I'm soooo happy (and sad) that you're moving!! Fingers crossed for smooth sailing to the other end of the city!!

It's beautiful! I watch House Hunters on HGTV and this house reminds me of those quaint farmhouses in the States! But...is that a stain on the driveway??

Thanks all - we think it's pretty nice!
And on the driveway it's a stamped brick/concrete design...LOL! It does look kind of like a stain! haha!
