Our New House!

We signed for our new house last night! It's in a small village of 550 people about 15 minutes from where we currently live. I've avoided saying anything about it here in order not to jinx the deal, but we got exactly the house we wanted for exactly the price we wanted and exactly the conditions we wanted! We take posession on 15 April 2009 or sooner if we wish. Still working out the mortgage with some major remodeling funding, but looking good!
