We Got It! (For Now)

So here's an update on the house...

We put in an offer on a different house last week and found out yesterday that it went to someone else.  What a bummer!  But, I'm getting used to the rejection part of buying a house.  So I went home to have a fun night with my honey.  BBQ and a movie - there's nothing better!

At about 6:30 I got a phone call from our realtor that our offer on the short sale (the first house we made an offer on) was accepted by the bank.  What an emotional u-turn to make.  I was still bummed about the other house, but when I got the good news, I was so excited!  We are not in escrow yet - although the listing agent would love to do that - we should be sometime next week.  Buying a short sale is a long and involved process, and there are so many people that have to be involved.  So please say a prayer that if it is meant to be, it will all go smoothly.  I just want to be sure we get the right house, for the right price, and the right situation.  

I will definitely keep you posted!
