Gallatin or Bust!

Last week we met up with our realtor in Nashville, hit about 20 houses northeast of there, and by the time we got home again had them narrowed down to 2. On Monday we headed back for a second, more detailed look at the 2 houses, and instead offered on a 3rd option that we noticed at the last minute. Sadly, those owners were not in a negotiating mood, so we had to walk away. But we mustered up the energy to quickly offer on our second favorite choice in the same neighborhood, and after some painfully tedious and frustrating counter offers (6 total), we have a contract on a pretty little place on a cul-de-sac, with a private and well shaded back yard, all the rooms we had on our must-have list, and it is within minutes from all the necessary conveniences! We are pretty excited that it worked out and really think it fits us well - it will feel like home right away. Without further ado, here is pic of our future home in Gallatin, TN. Ahhh, what a relief. Now bring on the change of address forms!

I love it! Congrats! You'll have to share pics after you get settled in and make it yours.

You are going to love living on a cul-de-sac (except when you want to have lots of people over and there is no where to park). There is no traffic and I feel so much safer with the kids. I don't think I will ever live anywhere else! congrats!

Oh, is Gallatin where all the outlets are?

Kimmie! What a beautiful new home!! Sounds really perfect! So excited for you guys! Have you found a new dr. up there or will you just commute back home until little Anna is born?

Heather - Oh, I am just going to get a dr. there in the area. Not a big deal to me. I have a couple recommendations already. And now that I know where we will be planting ourselves, I can pick one more accordingly. :)

Alison - Josh says the outlets are in Lebanon which is 15 min. east of Gallatin. I didn't even know about them in the first place until you asked here, so now that is another little convenience I have to appreciate!
