Under contract

Saturday we attended an Open House for the second option home on our list. It's been option two for months now. Going through the house for a 4th time we finally decided this was the house to settle on after two failed offers. We measured the house for updated flooring (the dining room and bathroom are carpeted and the kitchen has retro flooring). Pretty much the flooring, new carpet, and possibly new fridge are the only items really needing attention. By 11 am we went back to the realty office and whipped out a new offer. The owner responded by 1:30 pm with a decent counter. We accepted the counter by 4 pm. We signed the offer contract at 5:30 making the deal official...finally under contract.

I am so excited to begin thinking about what we can do with this new home. The outside is perfectly landscaped. The inside is clean and well-taken care of. The crib bedding arrived in the mail on Thursday...which means new decorating ideas for the nursery are soon to come. I think moving 4 weeks after having a baby will be hard but not as hard as next week! I look forward to sorting through our stuff in storage and finally getting everything organized the way I prefer. No more jerry-rigging life in a small apartment. Thanks for all your prayers.
