On Saturday Nick and I went house hunting for the second weekend.  This time our realtor previewed the homes before we went looking, and she really found us some great homes.  By the end of the day Nick and I had narrowed our favorites down to three.  1. A custom home that on a HUGE plot of land…but it was in a county island and being taken off of the market in 2 days and being sent to auction.  Ultimately the listing agent never returned our calls and we decided that living in a count island would just be too much work.  2.  The house that Nick liked.  Large and really nice floor plan, and an okay yard.  But the carpets were kind of warn out.  3.  The house that Terra liked.  Open floor plan, HUGE kitchen, landscaped back yard with a built in grill.  So, after excluding house #1, I gave in and we put an offer on the house he liked best.  We were out bid by $15,000…and we were NOT willing to compete with that!  So that left us with house #3…the one that I liked best.  We put an offer on it on Tuesday and today (Wednesday) at just a few minutes after 7:00PM we got the news that our offer was accepted!  We are giving our earnest money to the title company tomorrow and then we should be opening Escrow on Monday-ish of next week and closing in August.  Now we are working on getting our inspections done.  Nick and I are a little shell shocked but VERY excited!

As I’m writing this it all sounds so easy, and I guess all in all it was relatively easy…but it was not without some sweat and a few tears.  I know that it’s not over yet, and there are still some very important things to be done but I cannot imagine going though this process with anyone else but Nick.  I am so grateful for the man that he is and who he helps me be.
