homeowners to be...

Our offer was accepted!

Over break, Mathew and I went "power house shopping." We talked to a realtor, looked at tons of houses online, and visited as many as we could get to.

We found two houses. Then we debated for a long time about each. Between the two of them, we could have made our dream house, but it came down to choosing what things were more important to us.

In the end, we chose location. We picked the house that is a little bit smaller, the one with a slightly less likable floorplan, but is exactly where we want to live, and put an offer in. And waited.

I guess I shouldn't complain about the waiting. It was only two weeks ago that we put the offer in. I've heard it can take months. Today, we are starting to get the ball rolling on the loan process, and should have the keys to our new place by mid-May.

It's exciting, and scary, and really, I can't believe it all happened so fast. We're buying a house! For real.

Oh - and that reminds me, does anyone need to rent a 2-bedroom condo in Tucson? ;)
