One step closer

Yesterday we had to go and sign papers for the house... not the papers that we wanted to sign, but it got us one step closer to our goal, which is closing on this house that we love! The sellers accepted our offer and that's great news, but because it's a short sale now we could have quite the long waiting process. We have to wait and hear if the seller's lenders accept our offer now... Keeping our fingers crossed! We're really excited about this house- it had that "feeling" about it to both of us, which is really a good sign when that happens. Unfortunately it's further into town and out of our current ward boundaries, but that doesn't seem to bother either of us. You know that's a good sign when the possible negatives don't even seem to matter.

We're going to go take another look at it this afternoon with some of our family and take some measurements so that once we hear back from the banks I can start getting ready to redo the house before we move in. The nice thing is that there's not a ton of work to be done to be able to move it, but it's definitely so much easier to get things like paint and flooring done without us living there. This time I'm going to do a better job at taking before and after pictures for this house. That's my one main regret because I didn't do that with our last home.
