They counter offered our offer but are willing to negotiate. We could for sure afford the asking price as it was within our budget, and we'd be paying less than we right now for rent with our down payment. So we're going to try to go a little less and ask for a one year home warranty too.

This is becoming more real. I am so scared/excited.

Wooo hoooo!!

Sorry to hear about the gal stones Marylin So, my mom's in town... YAY! Except she brought her friend with her and her friend is SUPER selfish. Last night her friend said "we're going to Olive Gar

Except for the problem that you don't find out your number until you actually get your card.

When I went to the DMV they needed to see the actual card too.

Already have the card, in my maiden name. I'm just disappointed that they'll need to physically see the card in my married name now.

They counter offered our offer but are willing to negotiate. We could for sure afford the asking price as it was within our budget, and we'd be paying less than we right now for rent with our down payment. So we're going to try to go a little less and ask for a one year home warranty too.

It is. I don't like doing this at all! I want this place sooo badly! I have had dreams both nights since Saturday about it.

I wasn't enjoying the house hunt at all until I saw that place and Mike and I both looked at each other after we saw it and said: "That's the one' but we didn't want to get our hopes up.

I wouldn't have to paint it, we wouldn't have to redo the kitchen... we could use that money on some new furniture.

It's just perfect for us. I love the neighborhood too, would take me 5 minutes to get to work (as opposed to 15 minutes :P) and my son's school is just down the road.

OH and i noticed the people living next door have an Ottawa Senators sticker on their window! Canadian bffs anyone?? :lol:

I have a whole bunch of Canadian neighbours, I could send sasquatch to your neighbourhood!

So the bank screwed up the paperwork a bit for our mortgage. So now they are redoing it and we won't close today. Maybe not tomorrow. It better be tomorrow though as I have everything planned for moving Wednesday morning and we are moving whether it has closed or not. We will just have to sit on the lawn with our stuff. :huh:

Lol, D and I moved in September and are finally starting to explore our neighborhood. A few weeks ago we walked past a house just a few blocks from us that was flying a lovely Canadian flag and had three cars in the driveway, all with Canadian flag bumper stickers. Their license plates cracked us up though - a huge SUV whose plate said "Big Eh" a Smart car whose plate said "Smart Eh" and a Suburu WRX whose plate said "Rally Eh". We really need to meet them!

And good luck with the house Sprailness! It's a process that nearly drove me insane but it's well worth it in the end.

so this guy at my husband's work has been bugging my hubby about us coming over to a BBQ at his house with him and his wife...

I think it would be a good idea.. it would get us out of our rut... hubby has been hemming and hawing about it though :P

yeah I am a little nervous about meeting new people but I have to break out of my shell sometime..
