A Home for Team Dickerson

Today we bought a home!!! We have rented since moving up to the DC area 3 years ago because the housing prices were so overinflated that we knew the bubble would soon burst and then we would pick up the pieces. Mission accomplished!! We have waited and prayed and waited and prayed before finding the perfect place for us. The place we bought is in an area of townhouses that we lived in when we first moved up. We bought our place for roughly half of what they were selling it for 3 years ago. Thank you Lord, what a blessing!

The funny thing is that this place is not new, not cute on the outside, not a single family home with huge backyard...all things we had in our home we owned in South Carolina. And yet, I can safely say that we are 10x more excited about this purchase! Renting again and high house prices makes this time around so much sweeter.

This was our first home, for those of you who never saw it:



This is the townhouse we bought today:


It is located in Reston, VA within walking distance of the town center and the W&OD trail. The commute is great for Joe and it does have a small fenced-in backyard for Grayson and Hank.

We have a lot of work to do inside before we move in at the end of the month. Check back for before and after pictures.
