One tired boy!

Well, this picture about sums it up... we are tired. After many months of being patient and waiting for our house to sell, we feel that we are pretty close. (The house is closing on 2/27)
As you know we made an offer on a house, but didn't get it. So we started over this week. Our realtor sent us about 20 listings. Justin and I made our lists of what we liked and then gave them to the realtor to show us around. We looked at 7 houses on Saturday. The 1st one looked really bad from the street, but the inside was awesome. After that, all houses paled in comparison. We kept looking and on our way to house 7, I wasn't sure what we were going to find. We pulled up, and it looked great. A cute brick 1950's house. It just kept getting better as walked around. This house had 2600+ square feet! Granted the basement is finished, complete with wood paneling, but a can of paint can do wonders for a house. So we went home to the townhouse, and had some lunch. After talking it over and weighing out our options, we decided to go for it and make an offer. We found out today that they accepted our offer as written. That means no counter offers or changes! We will be doing a home inspection in the next week, and see what that brings us. Things are looking up! our closing for this house would be the end of April, but could be sooner if the current owners find a house sooner. (they haven't packed yet).
I will get some pictures to post at a later date, but wanted to keep everyone in the loop! Yippee!
