News!!!

Saturday, July 7, 2012 Bill and I celebrated 11 years together. I can't believe that we have been together for that long. It seems like it was just yesterday. We also went and looked at two houses and fell in love with one of them. Over the weekend we thought and prayed about the house and making a decision. We looked at numbers and prayed some more. Wanting to make sure we are doing the right thing.


On Monday we put our offer in. We knew that the sellers might not agree to our offer because it was 2,000 less that asking price and we were asking them to pay 4,500 in closing and prepaid costs. We were also told that they had someone else taking a second look at the house. There was a possibility that they would wait to see if the other people would make an offer too. Praying, we tried to be as patient as possible. We talked through the different scenarios and tried to figure out what we would with different sign backs from the seller. 


Tuesday about 24 hours after our initial offer they came back with full asking price and our full closing and prepaid costs. I couldn't believe it when we were talking to our realtor. He was as shocked as we were. When I called Bill I could just hear the excitement in his voice. We are going to be homeowners.


Wednesday we signed their offer and agreed to their terms. They are asking that the appraisal is done in the first 10 days. I will be working on Friday for the paperwork so that they can get the appraisal done as soon as possible. Then we will have the home inspection done and be waiting on the financing. 


Our signing date is scheduled for August 17 and we are very excited. It could be pushed out if we need it to depending on how quickly the financing goes, but we are hoping that we will get it on the 17th. Not only is it close to where we live now, and in a good school district, we are only minutes from Bob and Steph. :) 


Please pray for us on this journey as the appraisal, inspection and financing are worked on. We are also searching for the best prices on refrigerators and lawn mowers. Trying to find good deals but also good quality.
