House!


Well, it happened so quickly it still hasn't quite sunk in. On April 1st we met with a banker about getting preapproved for a home loan. We asked him if he thought it was reasonable for us to try to get into contract on a house by the end of the month (to receive the tax credit). He replied, "Oh, defintely." We thought that it might be a stretch. We had been researching prices and procedures for months...and we were finally ready to start looking. One week later we met with our Realtors (who our banker recommended and have been just fantastic) and started looking at houses. Three days and about 30 houses later, we made an offer on a home. Today we had our inspection (which went well--no major problems). We are slated to close on June 1st. I'm so excited to get into our house and have a garage and room to put everything away and our very own laundry!
