My last 2 posts were not upbeat and were not happy posts-my parents and I went up to East TN for my Aunt Debbie's funeral and it was beautiful! The visitation lasted over 4 hours and there were well over a thousand people who came through. It was hard knowing that she had battled so much and fought so hard only to be taken in a freak accident, but it was also amazing to see the legacy she left behind in her family, her friends, her coworkers, and her students!! While in East TN we got some more bad news about the house that we are renting from my uncle that resulted in a frantic and very rushed hunt to buy a house! We got back on Wednesday-I worked Thursday and Friday while looking online for houses, we got a realtor and had house tours set up for Saturday! We saw several houses that would be great if it weren't for this or that, and then I found a very cute cottage style house that I wanted to see. We e-mailed our realtor and he added it to the list! We loved it and then wanted to see it again on Sunday along with a few new houses...still nothing except for the cottage style house! Knowing that we were in a potentially extreme time crunch we talked and prayed about it and put an offer in on the house! Yes-after 2 days of looking, we put an offer in on a house!!!! I had to leave Monday afternoon right after work for Nashville for a SPED conference for the middle school and would be gone until Thursday evening...Freaking out and waiting to hear back I went to work Monday-we did find out there were multiple offers on the house. Drew and my mom went and looked at a few more houses while I was gone but nothing was as great-so we put in a counter off--and then the waiting game began-it was so hard to be away from home and waiting to hear something, but finally on Tuesday night while I was at dinner with some wonderful and great friends, Drew called to tel me they accepted our offer!!! We were one step closer to owning a home!!! Yesterday we had the inspection and other than a few cosmetic things the house looked great-I am so excited!! Drew was going to talk to the relator again today but hopefully everything will still be on track for closing date on April 12th (the day after Drew's b-day!!))!
Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers about this house and as soon as I know more I will try and post!!
