We are putting this out there in leui of housewarming gifts or Christmas gifts or Birthday gifts.  We found a great little house that we want to call our own.  It's in Westwood but could use some minor improvements and a fence for our babies.  The down payment will wipe us out but getting out from under a $850/m rent payment will be well worth it.  If you can help it is truely appreciated and if not don't worry..we still love you.  I heard about this site and thought ..why not?  We sign the contract tonight.  Pray for us :)
