We just got word that our offer has been accepted and we are on track yet again to purchase our first house!  I feel like the new kid in middle school, trying to put my best foot forward and get accepted by the “in-crowd”.  Our offer needed to be just right for the seller to accept, our credit and finances need to look just right to secure our loan.  This is not the time for a “bad hair day”!

This time our closing day is in 30 days instead of 60 which is exciting because we should be in the new house before Thanksgiving.  We’ll be going out to the house for an inspection this weekend and even though we’re a little gun shy after the last experience, we don’t expect to find anything too surprising this time.  My husband has already climbed up on the roof to check the chimney flashing (one of our main problems with the last house).  The furnace, hot water heater and air conditioner are new so there’s no issue there.  Everything looks structurally sound and there are even screens on the gutters to help keep them from clogging!

Fingers crossed that I’ll be doing remodel/redecorating posts soon and we’ll be snug in our new house when the new baby arrives!
