We found a house! It's exactly what we wanted, in the exact area that we wanted. It was built in 2004 and still has the new house smell! It's a rancher duplex with a two car garage, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a basement that's been drywalled and is ready for finishing (which will DOUBLE the square footage from 1322 to 2644!!!). It's absolutely perfect and Josh and I are totally in love with it. All we have to do is secure financing and we'll be able to put a bid in on it. But I'm not thinking that's going to be a problem since it's less than what we paid for our house two years ago when we made less money!

The only thing (aside from securing financing) that could be an issue is getting this house ready to be put on the market and sold. We are in a very desirable area, but our house only has 2 bedrooms and the people who had it before us were really hard on it. It will require a LOT of painting and cleaning before we can put it on the market (unlike some of the houses we saw yesterday, I *will not* put this house on the market until it looks flawless). Not to mention packing evvvvverything up. So I'm feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment but I'm still hoping everything pans out. We LOVE this new house. LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

PT prayers PLEASE!!!!
