House Update

After praying, looking at more houses and many, many conversations, my husband and I decided to make an offer on the first home we looked at.

Keith called the owners, made them an offer a few thousand dollars under what they are asking. They said they would consider it and call us back. About an hour later, they called. They said they would meet us halfaway between our offer and their asking price. The halfway amount is exactly what Keith and I both felt we would pay for the house.

So, we are on our way to becoming homeowners.

We have to discuss things with the owners, get the paperwork and loan info lined up, get a home inspection... all the things that go with purchasing a house.
It's very exciting and scary all at once.

I dread the thought of moving. We haven't even lived in our apartment for a year. We decided that we are hiring movers this time. It will be totally worth the cost. Plus, I'm pretty sure our family and friends are not going to help us move again. We've moved a combination of 10 times over the last 10 years.

I can already picture Keith and I sitting on our front porch this fall, after Chloe has gone to bed, watching the stars, sipping a cup of coffee (still decaf for me).... I can hardly wait.
