The House

We started looking for a house in June.  The second house that we saw had a lot of potential, but we kept telling ourselves there were more houses to see.  Everytime we met with the realtor the rest of the month we would stop back by this house.  Everytime we liked it even more and saw more possibility.  So by the end of June we submitted the offer.  It was a short sale and everyone kept warning us how long those take.  By mid-July we had the closing date of September 13.  Everything kept moving along on track and we signed the papers on September 13 and the house was officially ours (once funded) on Friday the 14th.
We are excited!  There is lots of work to be done, but we are excited to do what WE WANT! and to have something that is ours.  It happened quicker than we thought.  We thought we would be living in the townhouse for years to come.
Thanks to both set of our parents, Gordon for hvac help, and all of you that have encouraged us!
