On Wednesday evening we went to the realtors office to meet with the owners of the house we're buying and sign the contract!! The whole day I was nervous, lots of mixed feelings, lots of excitement and dreamy ideas, but also the knowledge and awareness of the reality of the situation - we're buying a HOUSE!
It was quite the process getting to this stage- we've been through 2 seperate rounds of bidding, and both times we were outbid, but at the last minute the other people backed out for different reasons. So the third time around (third time's the charm?) was when it became clear that we might actually have a real shot at closing the deal. There are still a few more steps and stages to go through and we won't be moving for another 3 months, but it feels surreal, and it's the culmination of lots of hours spent looking, analyzing, discussing, dreaming and weighing pros and cons.
We didn't manage to save any pictures before the house was taken offline (which we specifically requested), but I'm sure I'll be posting lots once we get there :)
Cool, it's really cool! it was a huge decision in a life time. All things are possible. Now I can come and stay with you, ha!
