So, we have a contract on our dream home!!! Talk about moving fast - Jon and I are clearly winners in that right now. After much negotiation, excitement and nervous jitters, we decided to take the plunge and we now have a contract on the house you see to the right of the page. Yes folks, our dream house - so we think!!! We finally came to an agreement with the seller today and we could not be more excited. In our wildest dreams, we never thought we would find and have a contract on this house in such a short period of time. My parents think I'm crazy and shooting from the emotional hip, but they happen to be at the beach and haven't seen this house in person. We feel we got a good deal and can't wait to close and be official homeowners. So, what's next???
Oh you know, just a home inspection, termite inspection/letter, etc. As much as we LOVE this house, we're still cautious about the home inspection. In the words of Forrest Gump, 'Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.' Hopefully, in our case, what we get is no crazy stuff like a leaky roof, foundation sinking, ghost in the attic, etc.. We're hoping to have the inspection on Monday, July 7, since I am off work that day and you can be sure I will be there, in full force, with a notebook, pen and open ears!! You really just never know - so we're hoping for the best, knowing the house will not get a 100 percent clean bill of health:)
Needless to say, Jon and I HAD to go out this evening and celebrate the biggest investment of our lives to this point. WOW - the excitement and anxiety is actually settling in. Oh, and did I mention we're closing on July 25. YES - you heard it right, folks - we're closing in a little more than three weeks. Ummm.....boxes, bubble wrap, time - are we absolutely CRAZY!?!?! All of a sudden, we feel a little overwhelmed....and we stated the terms of the contract!! In all seriousness, Jon and I could not be more excited and ready to move in than we are right now.
As we move towards a closing date, I will continue to keep everyone posted on our progress. Jon and I actually started making a 'to-do' list. And, what do you think that consisted of? Let me break it down for you:
What size flat screen will we buy for the great room (Apparently, it must be bigger than the one in our bedroom)
How big of an entertainment center will we buy?
Stainless steel grill, right? (No worries that our own kitchen applicances are not or that the roof might be caving in (joke, MB!). It's almost football seaon - priorities now:)
I'll be sure to post later this weekend - wish us luck! And, thanks SO much for all of the encouraging and positive words and thoughts we've received from our friends and family!!!

This house is awesome. We will have everyone over once we get settled. Right now I just want to get in it, and hoping that all the next steps go well.
Yay! I'm so happy for you Mittelbronns! Seriously - it's just SO exciting. I hope the inspection goes perfect and am so glad you can be there for it! Share your notes on how you found the PERFECT house in 3 seconds - maybe I can sell Austin after all! :)
