House Hunting

As I said in my last post, I was still house hunting. I was really active at it back in March. Literally going just about everyday looking at different houses. I had found one that I really liked and then found out it was already under contract. I then found another one that was cute, a GREAT price, but HUGE!! Someone out bid me with a cash offer. Well, where I hadn't given up hope of finding anything, I wasn't really looking all that much. I had just gotten my hopes up and then crushed and top it off with work has been super busy.

Anyways, Monday an automatic email came from my real estate agent. From the 4 or so pictures the house looked pretty cute. I emailed her and told her to go check it out for me. (We had an arrangement where if I found something she would go check it out and then let me know if it was even worth trying to find time to see it.) She called me Tuesday night and said that the house needed a couple of things but that it had just been listed Monday and was SUPER CUTE and totally me! On top of that she had talked to the real estate agent who was listing it and was told to make any offer, they would probably accept it. Well, luckily I had yesterday off. I met her out there at 12:30. By 3:30 we had gone back to her office and written an offer and faxed it in. We gave them until Tuesday evening to reply. I wasn't expecting much as this time I had decided to NOT get my hopes up and just let this be. I remember sitting at her office while she was faxing it praying that whatever God wants I am OK with. I know that there is a house out there for me and it would come at the right time.

At around 8:30 last night Tina (my real estate agent) called and told me the good news! Not only did we get what we asked for, but they are giving me a credit for any repairs to the house!!!!! I am sooooooo excited!!! I AM A HOMEOWNER.....well not officially until May 26th but still! I just think it is to funny that I had already taken that week off.

The house is 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. The master is on the main, the other 2 beds and bath are upstairs. It has a living room/dining room combo. It has a fenced in back yard! It does not have a garage but I can deal with that. It does have a small storage building for the lawnmower and all those random yard tools I will be purchasing!

Here is the front of the house.....


I will post more pictures in a couple of days!
