Yes, that's right! We're thrilled to share the news with our family and friends! (Sorry for the cliffhanger earlier in the week! lol) This week we made an offer on a place we loved and saw lots of potential in!
Here's Lauren with the large deposit check we wrote with the original offer... eek!

The sellers counter-offered our low offer, and we countered theirs the same day with an offer we thought they would be happy with. After a lot of waiting anxiously and trying not to get our hopes up, we found out today that they took our offer! :) They signed the papers so we know its for real, and on Monday we will officially be in escrow for our townhouse!!
We're going to be homeowners, and are SO excited!! Here's us right after we found out it was official:

The sellers asked for a 45 day escrow (they're trying to arrange the close of this escrow with the escrow for the place they're hoping to buy), so today we gave 30 days notice in our apartment. Bye-bye Brentwood! We'll be staying with Albert & Sandy after we leave our apartment, and then additionally after the close of escrow while we're sprucing up the place! We plan on scraping all the ceilings (popcorn ceilings = yuck), re-doing all the flooring (pergo + new carpet), painting, and partially remodeling the kitchen cabinets... Lots of work, but we're very excited to make a beautiful home for ourselves... and of course for the little Wests that are in our future ;)
We're going to hold off on showing pictures for now, but will post them as "before" pics when we're ready to post the "after" pics! :) (Though we might show you progress along the way!) So, we are buying a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom townhouse in Tarzana, with a huge living room, great kitchen/dining room space, laundry (woo hoo!!), and a cute patio in front. The complex has a pool and spa and is just really charming. We have carport parking right around the corner from our unit and lots of guest parking - for all of you who we hope will visit! We can't wait to show it off at a housewarming party... but that will probably be sometime in August after its all prettied up :)
Stay tuned for future news and plans!
