we got it!

so, friday night at 5:45pm the sellers accepted OUR offer! how exciting! i scanned in the real estate brochure take a look at the pics here. i'll have better pics when we go to the inspection this week.
i'm so thrilled, but i don't think it'll totally sink in until we've signed all the paperwork. we close on september 18th, which just happens to be 2 days after my birthday, and 2 days before mr. c's half birthday (i know i'm super lame for that), so think it's a good present!

this was quite the week with grandma passing away and getting the house. her service was saturday morning and it went very well. the flowers were beautiful. we were over at mr. c's parent's house all weekend visiting with family which was really nice.

countered counter...

so we received a counter-offer last night. we responded this morning, and we'll know their response by 6pm tonight. unfortunately there are multiple offers on the table. we REALLY want this house. ARGH! this process is exhausting.

our house

we went and saw 6 more houses last night. as soon as we walked into the 5th one i knew that it was our house. it's gorgeous. a colonial built in 1925, with original woodwork, and a great layout.

we put an offer in this morning, the sellers have until 6 pm tonight to accept. so we're crossing our fingers.

Dorothy

Mr. C's maternal grandmother Dorothy passed away yesterday. She turned 88 this spring. Please keep his family in your prayers.
