UPDATE #249, 576, 944:
WE GOT THE HOUSE!!
The house is OURS!
OMGOMGOMG!!!1!!
(if you know a pool boy looking for summer work please forward me is resume (HA HA HA!) and a chest shot – not a head shot, a CHEST shot.)
:::
Updated June 18: So we had made an offer which was countered by the seller (that’s the part I mentioned in the first update below) then the original buyer had 24 hours to make their decision whether or not to back out of the deal or firm up their offer.
They firmed up so we lost the house.
But!!
My agent called this morning to tell me that the first buyer’s financing fell through and that the house is still available should we want it.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
Mike is so excited – in his calm, cool, and collected manner. I am too, but now I want to test out the market a little more since I had resigned to the fact that the house was gone! *sigh*
So we’re going to see a couple homes tonight and then make our decision from there.
I can’t freaking believe it!! OMG.
:::
UPDATE!!
We called our agent last night for another walk-through and I was surprised about how old and Granny-ish I thought it was because it’s really not! There’s cosmetic changes definitely, but nothing that has to be immediate except for a new furnace since the existing one is the original.
We made an offer last night and after one counter offer it was executed! Now we wait to see if the original buyer will waive their conditions to get the house. If they waive then we’ve lost the property, but if they decide to back out or take to long to reply (they have until 9am tomorrow) then it’s ours!!!
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
_______________________________
So now that I’ve alienated a good portion of you and lost sleep over being such an opinionated douchebag,*ahem* let’s move on, shall we?
Because ZOMG!!!1! I think we’re buying a house. At least, we’re trying damn hard to buy a house.
I’m freaking out, in a good way and really hoping that everything falls in line and we’re successful at SOMETHING. Because I. want. this. house.
It’s big but completely out-dated. It’s currently a granny house (flower wallpaper), stucco walls with barn board in the basement and navy blue carpet throughout.
Ya, hot right?
(Don’t worry, if we’re successful you’ll see pictures!!)
But I have so many plans and so many ideas to make it all mine. Everything just screams I-will-be-perfection once I get everything painted and updated in 2020.
It’s a huge 5 bedroom house with a pool and in our selling range only because it’s in need of a new furnace, windows and a new kitchen.
Simple, right?
I’ve watched enough HGTV; I can handle a home renovation. Pffft. Easy peasy. I seen it all done on TV!
/sarcasm
OMG! Home renovations! Buying a house!
I don’t even think I was this nervous when I squished a 9lb 6oz baby from my lady bits.

Woohoo! I’m so excited for you! Fingers and toes crossed that you get the house!!!
LOL
We bought our first house 7 1/2 years ago. It’s a lot of work, but very much worth it.
I’m available as part of the painting crew, for the right price. That price being chocolate.
Congrats!!
AND NEW WASHER AND DRYER! (right?)
so excited for you!
Woo hoo! Fingers & toes crossed!
It’s a good GD thing you have a best friend who LOVES to paint. LOVES.
I know, it’s a sickness. But I’m totally willing to help. Just beer me and I’m there.
Congrats! That is v exciting, and a good end to the rapid rollercoaster of the last couple of weeks.
I find, though, that things slide once you move in and life gets in the way and what seemed urgent becomes invisible, so live with what you can for a while – it also helps you be sure how you really want to use the space in the end.
w00t!
Wow, sounds fantastic!
We are selling, you are buying…sounds great for everyone!
I can’t wait to see pictures!
A 9lb 6oz baby sounds like a breeze compared to the task you’re begging for!
Oooh, best wishes!
And yeah, live with it for awhile… how will you know what traffic flow you want in your new kitchen otherwise? ;p
This is so exciting! I hope everything works out!!
Yeah yeah yeah!!! So excited for you!!!!! Love HGTV!!!
Fingers still crossed. Can’t wait until the next update. Hopefully GREAT news!
Good Luck to you!! I hope you get it and that everything works out the way you want it to. Can’t wait to see pics!
Good luck!
Oh honey!!! SO EXCITED for you!
Fingers crossed and I was totally squeeing with you last night on Twitter! Can’t wait to hear! IF I lived closer, I’d come and HGTV it up with you! I love that stuff!!!!!
It sounds amazing!
This sounds EXACTLY like what happened to us! We made a bid on a granny house with an offer already in place, and the other buyers didn’t come through, so WE WON OH YEAH.
Crossing my fingers for you!
That’s so exciting! Best of luck, I hope you get it!
Good luck. We’ve been looking but nothing quite as perfect yet…*sigh*
So did you get it??
Very exciting for you! I hope it all works out.
I think you need to check out the classes at your local Home Depot. They’ll teach you how to tile and do all kinds of stuff for free!
Good luck! So exciting.
Congratulations!! I want pictures. Are there pictures? ‘Cause I want them.
Like, now. Okay?
Okay.
SQUEE! Congratulations!
OMG OMG OMG! That is AWESOME!!! Congrats home owner! I’m so happy for you!
