One Step Closer…

We put an offer in for the house Friday morning and they accepted our first offer Friday afternoon on the terms that we close a month later. This works great for us because we have our apartment contract until Aug 31 and were just thinking we would have to eat August rent for our roach infested cave in the ghetto.

Now the ball is rolling and things are getting crazy. Our inspection is this coming Wednesday (keep your fingers crossed) and then we work on financing and finding an insurance company that has not exhausted the number of hurricane policies they can write.

We are really excited, I think we have stayed up the last three nights just talking about things we would really love to do with the house, but in reality will not be able to afford for a decade.
Wednesday I will take some more photos at the inspection and post them. Photos like the façade of the house, which I will give an early warning, its not exactly pretty, but nothing a tree and a few vines can’t fix.

Congrats Em! The house looks totally AWESOME...quite the upgrade from the apartment where the neighbor kids eat your peppers off the plant. :) Is there a guest bedroom? I think a visit to Texas will be in order after I get a job and such...also happy birthday a couple days early!

Ahh yes, the American dream. Hooray! Aren't houses fun! I've already spent countless hours thinking of what we could do to a house - and we haven't even found one yet. Hope all goes well with the red tape. August isn't too far away.
