My wife bought me a house for Valentine's Day

For almost a year now my wife Brandie and I have been looking into purchasing a home. The market's been so awesome for buyers and we're pretty over living in the Tower. However, every time we ran the numbers it just hadn't worked out and though we've been disappointed in the past, we knew we just had to keep plugging away and the timing would work out when it was right.

The time is now.

This past Sunday we went out to Harlan Ranch to look at models. It's a huge Master Planned community in northeast Clovis, towards the foothills. This place is massive. It already has an Elementary School there, with plans for commercial businesses and tons of houses. Ever since the notion of a house has been in our minds we've wanted to build new. It only makes sense for first time home-buyers; the prices are the same and a lot of the times even BETTER than buying pre-existing homes, so it's kinda a no-brainer for us.

Long story short, we fell in love with the Devonshire Collection by Wilson Homes, the Evan model. It's seriously the perfect house for us. I called up my good friend Asa to help us run the numbers one more time....and he hooked it up. Everything just fell into place. The price, the mortgage, everything (i'll spare all the financial details).

So come today, Valentine's Day, Brandie and I were signing contracts! We officially are on the road to becoming home owners!

So in about 4 to 5 months we'll be moving....crazy!!!

Now if only we had new furniture.....
