We Bought a House!
[UPDATE! We got it! It's ours!]
It happened real quick (and it ain’t over yet), but Audrey and I just bought our first house! It’s a super fine lil’ abode on the edge of Fishtown in Philly. It was sold to us by a stylish and lovely woman and fellow blogger. We’re very, very excited about it! Closing in a few weeks. Cross yr fingers for us. And then come join us for what will be one heck of a house warming party! Yeeee-haw!

Thanks, everyone!
It’s just north of Cumberland, actually, Joshua. It’s on Aramingo, couple blocks up from the Wawa and across from that ball field.

YES, man! I am so glad y’all bought this gem!!!!
You *are* keeping the incredible wallpaper in the entryway, right? Because that is pure gold, my friend, just pure gold, and I am absolutely not being facetious. I love it.
I wish I could come for the party. (Maybe I can …. if I rub my paws together evilly enough …)

Mark,
Congratulations! I saw this house in Craigslist and it made me jealous that I’d already bought a house.

Yes! Such a great house, glad that you two are going for it! And happy that you are staying in the (extended) neighborhood;) Can’t wait to come over and have some beers, yo!

Awesome score on the house!
You two aren’t that far from where I live on Norris and Gaul now!
I can see not-a-few whiskey-laced evening visits…

Hey Mark!!!
Remember me??? What a beautiful home!! Congratulations!!
I bumped into Anneke in Bethlehem last weekend and she gave me the update on you! It’s so good to hear/see that you are so happy and doing well!
I am typing to you while sitting on our couch with my puffy feet propped up! Jeff and I are expecting our first baby any day now! YIKES!
It would be great to hear from you! (Sorry, no blog. But e-mail is jillianjacoby@hotmail.com)
