A Home for your Books

Uh, if you haven't noticed by now, it's extremely hard for me to think about things other than houses.

Isn't this a creative "bookmark"? Instructions are here.  It's made out of a block of wood, though I'm tempted to try it with wood's cheap cousin, cardboard.

So cute, so cute!

Anyway, a quick (and I do mean quick) update on our own little housing situation...

Short sale still pending, we kept looking at houses.  Specifically, we met my uncle at a brand new listing last night, utterly fell in love (like no other home before), smacked an offer down on it first thing this morning, and before the end of the day - found ourselves with a ratified offer. A non-short sale offer.  

Which means we now have 10 days in which to do inspections, and about 20 days in which to get our finances squared away. Man, I hope it all goes smoothly. *Sweats profusely*

But then we could be in a house. A seriously awesome house. A house I cannot wait to show you, because it's just ridiculous (in a very Sak & Penga way).

But right now? Right now it still doesn't feel real. Months of searching for what? A decision made in a day! A decision approved in a day! I can't process. 

Thanks for your support (and your patience with me) lately. Hopefully it won't be too much longer!

  5. Fingers crossed!! Isn't that so funny, some of the biggest events our lives are planned over months or years, only to be over in a day. *cough*weddings*cough*

    I'm so glad you found a house that really connects with you and Sak! You should be ecstatic and nervous about a potential new home! I hope everything works out, and don't get discouraged by the process. GOOD LUCK!!!

  10. Hooray, so happy for you guys, and I'll cross my fingers that all goes well with the inspection.

    And note to self: avoid looking at short sell homes at all costs--I know can't handle the waiting!
