This could be the one....

I went to look at a home today at lunch..... AND....l o v e d it! It's SOOO cute, move in ready, perfect floors, has a little breakfast nook thing which I LOVE and always wanted!!!! big, nice, open floor plan w/ high ceilings, which is nice...We're going back to look tonight (I think), so Brant can see it, since he wasn't able to look during lunch. Here's some of my fave pics...

We're still waiting on Southview, but should know something this week, so that's good.

Let me know what you think...I'd love to hear it!

Semi- Update

Well, We went to look at houses today...I was very excited about this, b/c I knew this time it was FOR REAL! HOWEVER, we haven't made a decision yet for 2 reasons.


1. We're waiting until the 2nd to see what will happens to Southview and

2. We didn't feel that OMGosh, WOW, have to have feeling today....

I did on 1, but I agree it's a little compact, but it's so cute - pretty much the same as Southview minus the sunroom. We will continue to wait on SV and keep a look out on new homes. We may be living in an apartment before we live in our first home together :o) - - which is better than rushing into something.

Here are the 3 homes we looked at today.

Bankside (fave so far)





Woodbriar House...pics are the 'game' room and front :)

Bristol...Currently a 'party house' :)

Countng our Blessings

YAY!

We have a contract!!!!!! They accepted our counter offer and w/in 10 days [being they won't back out] we'll have a full under contract! Were SUPER excited about this and can't wait to find our new home. I'm still waiting [now only 5 days] to see if the Option Contract w/the Southview home will fail, so I can have a shot at it :o). It would happen that 4 days after Souview gets a contract, we get one too :o(.

We will hope for the best and continue to look at other homes this weekend - - yay!

JOYous Day!!!! :o)

What a day I'm having - and - it's ALL good :o)!!!!

We got an offer on the house
- YAY! It's looking good, but we're trying to get it a little higher than what they are asking for.

What does in mean in terms of the Southview(SV) home? Well, there are still 6 days on SV home b/c it's under an OC [option contract]...Sometimes OC's can fail, but majority of the time they follow through into a full "Under Contract" term. We will continue to hope and pray for that one!!

Hopefully we'll know something by tomorrow on our offer! In the mean time, there are still 2 homes out there that we like BUT we're hoping for SV still :o)

The other great news is I got my first stationary shop purchase today :o) - - YAY! Someone actually bought my note cards...How awesome.

All this news came minutes between each other :)
I'll keep you updated....
Thanks for all the prays and support :o)!!!!!!!!

sad sad day....

Well, obviously it's going to be house related....and I'm sure you've guessed it....the house we wanted is now under contract :( ... yes, I know contracts can fail, but we still haven't sold our house. And, of course, the saying is "there is something better for y'all" ok ok...just sad, b/c it really did feel like the perfect home for us. I don't even want to look until we have an offer on our house, but it's really hard. I like to keep up with the daily "new" houses that come about, that's how i found that one.

Oh well, I won't continue to drown over it, but needed to share the news. We will continue to hope and pray for the best.

I have a few new designs I'll post - enjoy!
