Adventures in Firsts

Well, it's been a pretty eventful weekend. On Friday, we were approved for our very first mortgage. Saturday, we made the 5 hour drive to Woodstock to look at a house.

On a quick aside, we stayed at our first Bed and Breakfast, Brigitte's Bed and Breakfast. We did not know what to expect and this place exceeded our expectations. This was their information at the time of our visit.

  • Pricing per night from $55 to $69 CDN
  • Located halfway between Woodstock and Hartland in the St. John Valley, we have a panoramic view from our large sundeck. ( NEAR FROM HOSPITAL)
  • Two golf course. Longest covered bridge and other local tourist attractions with 10 minutes' drive.
  • We offer 5 newly decorated rooms, a large family room with large screen TV, satellite, pool table, dartboard, exercise equipment and snack bar.
  • We have a new 24' above ground pool with deck offering a relaxing end of day dip while enjoying the scenic view.
  • Our 'last all day' breakfast has drawn rave reviews from our guests so far and will continue to be a delicious start to your day.
  • Weekly & monthly special rate. (Special rate for family who have someone at the hospital. )
  • We offer two bathrooms. We speak french

If you find yourself in Woodstock, NB, I am highly recommending staying with Brigitte and David. They also have the world's sweetest kitty who may abandon her family to spend time with you.

So back to my story... Sunday, We looked at our first house, we made our first offer and now we are closing on August the first! It's a bit of a whirlwind. I don't think it has sunk in yet that in 13 days we will be moving into our first house. It's a big place with lots of room for the kitties and.. maybe children.

Sometimes, I forget to breathe.

Oh, I am so jealous of your short close. Ours was the longest 45 days EVER. Congrats! Moving into your first house is too much fun.
