Home Sweet Home

So remember that house I was telling you about last week? I was away on a business trip, flew back home Thursday, my father-in-law picked me up from the airport (he’s a great guy!) and I had dinner with my husband and his parents. We then went and met with our Realtor (keep in mind I still hadn’t been home yet!) and drafted up an offer. It was on the seller’s Realtor’s desk on Friday morning.

I was on pins and needles most of the day. Finally I realized that “a watched pot doesn’t boil” so I took a nap in the afternoon. The phone rang around 2:30pm and I swear I thought it was my alarm clock – I had that panic “Shoot! Where do I have to be? What day is it?!” It was my husband. Our offer and terms were accepted – no questions! WOOT!

It was such a thrill – I really wasn’t in the mood to haggle. I tried not to get my hopes up. I still am being a bit cautious – anything can happen. We have our inspections scheduled for Thursday. Until that is done and our mortgage commitment is in our hot little hands, I’m not doing my dance of joy.

But my husband I still love to talk about “our house”. We even took a couple of friends by there on Saturday afternoon.

And I just realized that I need to start thinking about paint and color schemes!

In the meantime, here’s the photo that was on MLS of the house. Ain’t she cute?
