Life Lately - Holidays and House!

What a whirlwind couple of weeks it has been! Lots of travel, lots of paperwork, and lots of excitement for 2014!

Highlights are as follows:

• We spent a fabulous week in the Outer Banks (OBX) of North Carolina with Taylor's family for Thanksgiving

• Escrow is closed, the mountain of paperwork is signed -- we're homeowners!

• Hardwood floors are refinished and walls are painted -- ready for move-in!

• We spent a fun-filled week in Ohio with Shane's family for Christmas

• We're moving into our house TOMORROW!

Life lately is fantastic.

Movin' on up to the east side...

... of the Bay, that is!

That's right, folks. In a mere 25 days, escrow will close and Shane and I will be signed, sealed, delivered home owners in the adorable city of Berkeley, California!

Can I tell you how amazing it feels to say that? Talk about an exhausting process -- house hunting could easily be a full time job! After countless open house tours, 3 offers, and 2 heartbreaks, it's all over! Third time's a charm, and we ended up with the home that is just right for us.

Feast your eyes on Casa de Harter!

Fave things about the house?

• Lemon tree by the front door (Fresh lemonade, on-demand!)
• Windows, windows everywhere (Let there be light!)
• Warmer weather (and less fog!)
• Proximity to BART (San Francisco is still just a 30-minute BART ride or 20-minute drive away)
• Compost bins and solar panels! (We're so Berkeley, I almost can't even stand us)
• And just a mile away from this incredible view....

We're now accepting reservations for guests at Casa de Harter in Spring 2014 ;-)
