This pretty little thing is what Thune and I have been working on for the past week or so. We decided that we're tired of renting, and rather than sign a lease again at the place that we live, we would just start looking for a house. our lease is actually not up until May, but we're very actively looking anyhow. We've pretty much set our hearts on this one, it's a cute little 2 bedroom, one and a half bath ranch located just off of Douglas, not yet to MLK and on the other side of Plaza Lanes. The street is actually called 27th place, but it's nestled in just off of where Douglas turns into Euclid. It's a great deal, in pretty good shape and really only needs a resurfacing of the hardwood floors and paint to cover the crazy purple on the walls. We're very excited, needless to say. We're meeting with the mortgage guy on Wednesday, and hopefully we can get these wheels a 'turnin :)

If you want to actually look at the house, I couldn't find it on Prudential's website, but did on Des Moines Register's real estate section. It's 3521 27th Place.
