lake house...

I wasn't going to post it on my blog until we closed, but I am pretty sure it is a done deal. We close on our first vacation home on the lake on July 2nd!

Chris and I have always been envious of families and their lake/beach/mountain getaways and their family traditions. We wanted something for our kids too. The problem was finding a place near the water in our price range. After months of looking we finally found it! Our hunt started at Eufaula and ended at Grand Lake. We found a house we loved, but we weren't crazy about the price. Chris made a ballsy offer and made an offer 40% less than asking price. They took it! We had to sweeten the pot by paying the realtor full commission on asking price and of course buying the house as is.

Yes, it needs a lot of work, but it is three houses down from the water and in a great area. We are across the water from the marina, state park, play ground, hiking trails, many beach areas, and a bar with $5 pitchers that allows kids and dogs.

So without further adieu... Here's the house!

The water is much closer than it appears. The house at the end of the road is actually waterfront. We are just three houses down. And once we have a deck in place we will have a lake view!
