We Got It!!!

So I am THRILLED to let everyone know that we found a house!!!!! I found it last week and absolutely fell in love with it! I wanted a house with character, not a cookie cutter house, big yard, older home, and lots of room. This house has it all!! It was a loooooong negotiation process, this guy didn't want to budge off of his listing price. His agents had to have a stern discussion and basically told him he was nuts to let this offer go. While we were going back and forth we actually had two other home owners call and give US an offer on their homes that we had viewed previously. Our agent said in twenty something years she had never seen this!

This morning we called to give our best offer take it or leave. I was so nervous because I wanted this house so bad, but for a fair price. I knew if he didn't take our offer we'd walk away. This morning Bo and I went for our morning walk and I prayed very hard knowing that if it didn't work out I would know that was God's way of letting us know that He would have something better for us. As soon as we were leaving the park Jarrod called to tell me we got it.

We are hoping to close around April 21st and also hoping the inspection goes well. All I have are two pictures I was able to take off the MLS listing so they aren't that great. You HAVE to see it in person and since we have LOTS of room we are expecting many visitors. On another note...we head to Austin Thursday morning to close on our house and meet the movers. It will be very hard to go back knowing this will be our last time there.
