Home Sweet Home

After driving all over the place (some roads not really fit to be driving on - had to put it in 4 wheel drive in the summer), we found a house we really loved and made an offer on Wednesday. This afternoon the realtor texted me with the good news.....the seller accepted our offer. WooHoo!!!! Here are a couple pics:




It's 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 1852 square feet, almost a full acre of land and was built in 2007. There are trees around our whole acre so we don't see neighbors all around us. Just the one right across the street. Our house is one of 2 houses on a cull-da-sac. We'll have plenty of room to park all our stuff (Deven gets mad when I call it crap). The town we'll live in is North Pole :o) We are really between Fairbanks and North Pole so we won't have to see Christmas decorations every day! LOL We need to build a fence for the doggies right away. Deven says he'll finally give me my white picket fence!!!! Later down the road, we'll build a shop so all the toys stay nice and warm and dry. I asked the realtor what the building codes were. His answer....."What building codes?" He was not teasing!!! Gotta love Alaska.
We both survived our first week of work at our new jobs. Everyone has been very nice and very helpful. They all can't wait to see our reaction in winter!!!! Think they know something we don't???? He He He He

May be why I never put them up He he. I am such a whimp I am not sure I could handle an Alaska winter and I have only seen it on tv. I am sure they do know something!
