Talk About Being Blessed

As you know, we've been on the house hunt for a bit but have not really had any luck. Well, now that our time is running out at our rental house the pressure is ON! So we did some major looking, found a house that's a bargain deal that we are IN LOVE with, and started the whole process again with little hope. The only thing is that it's a short sale, which is great because it's listed WAY UNDER it's normal price, but it also means it could take up to 6 months to get approved and everything, which is a long amount of time that we don't really have.


So after A LOT of hoping and praying we just heard TODAY, a week later (which is UNREAL with a short sale) that our offer was accepted and the house is ours!!!! HOORAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!! So sad to leave where we are, but so grateful to be taken care of! Now let's just see if we can get it all done before the little man decides to make his big debut! YIKES!

LOVE LOVE LOVE the house! 22 days? I think one of the things you may be packing up is a baby boy! We moved with a 2 week old once. It was super easy- she just slept the whole time. I've been internet house hunting in AZ (Gilbert, Chandler, and Mesa) I found an awesome short sale house in Chandler- so if it doesn't sale for 13 months, AND Dale gets offered the Phoenix residency- were good! Probably a little wishful thinking. Congratulations!

Well im super jealous. That house looks so awesome! But I guess I get to live in a studio apartment that costs way too much...
The day I get a house will be a very nice day. Congrats!
