We're having a baby!!
Actually we're not. But I knew that would be what a few of you would be thinking when you saw my title ;)
Well we are, in a way, but not in the way you're thinking (thank goodness) - we're buying a house.
If you go to http://www.tommys.co.nz/ and search on Wellington/Ngaio/3 bedrooms/400-450k the townhouse with the pciture below, all going well, be 12% ours (and 88% BNZ's) in three weeks!
It's all been incredibly fast. It came on the market last Thursday, we looked at it twice over the weekend, put an offer in on Tuesday night and they accepted on Wednesday afternoon. The rest of the week has just been a blur of trying to line up lawyers and valuers and builders, meeting with the bank and getting council reports and all sorts of mad things that you have to do as due diligence to make sure you're not about to laden yourself with 20 years of debt for a lemon. Oh and slowly coming to grips with the fact that once we do this, we're going to be really really broke for a really really long time!
This is the second story. If you look to the left you can see our garage, and just next to it the front door.
Our pretty kitchen (to the left of the end window is where the stairs come up from the ground floor)
Mmmmm afternoon sun. Will be lots of drinks here next summer!
A view from the deck of the living area. At the left end of the kitchen there is a door - this leads to a bathroom and the master bedroom. (And yes the curtains are kind of blah but we're all just going to have to live with them for awhile!)
One of the downstairs guest rooms. Plenty of room for visitors from the USA to come and stay hint hint Lindsey, Jaime, Anne, May (and you can even have your own bathroom!)...

You just about gave me a heart attack with those first lines. But wow. It's gorgeous. That deck! I'm totally jealous. Congrats! And you better watch out, because if I ever find any shred of an excuse to come your way, I'm totally crashing in your guest bedroom.
I sure hope you were talking about me! I will totally come see you. Your townhouse is very cute. I love the deck. It's so big, which is perfect for outside bbqs.
So how is it coming along with getting Andrew and I together? I didn't forget. I don't forget cute guys with accents!!!!
HOLY COW!! That is big news. Congrats! So happy for you guys.
Also, fyi, this whole thing where people think you're having a baby NEVER goes away...until you have one. (I'm assuming. We haven't of course.)
I was totally going to slap you silly for getting preggers so fast. Sheesh. Not that littles ones aren't little blessings but wowsers - anyways - congrats on the new digs! :)
