Finally...a house!

I have not blogged in a few months because we are currently living with our BIL/SIL.

Today we got word today that the offer we put on a house was accepted.

Here's the story:

Mid-March we placed an offer on this house for $40,000; received a counter offer of 48,000; and then countered back at 45,000. We didn't hear anything back from the bank for a few days and so dropped our offer back to $40,000. (It was the beginning of our search at that point and with all the different houses on the market here, I was optimistic that we could find a better house/deal...)

We searched for another house and nothing worked. All of our offers fell through. I was super stressed and mad at the world. When the house popped back up on the market with a listing price of $44,900; I about passed out. We immediately put in a new offer of $40,000. This time, they accepted!

The house is 1630 square feet, 3 bedroom, 2 bath. It needs new flooring, paint, and a lot of cleaning but besides that its great!

I am so excited. Theresa's already planning on visiting every February (I'll head up to North Dakota in August as a trade :))

Here's a link to the model homes.

Love you all!
