And the waiting and hoping begins..

We put an offer in on the house this morning and have heard back from them a few times already. They countered, we countered.. and so on. We're within the limits of what we can afford, however we may run into problems because the house was appraised for less than what the offer is at now. The bank may not want to let us pay that much for the house.

I have an issue with getting my hopes up too soon, and I try not to but I can't help it. I end up being crushed when things don't go the way I'd hoped. I'm trying to stay positive. So far things are going good. I just have to wait it out and try not to think about it too much.

Time for bed. Hopefully we get some good news tomorrow.

House hunting..

Well to be honest it wasn't much of a hunt. My realtor sent me a list of 49 places and I narrowed it down to 6. We looked at all 6 today and immediately discarded 3 of them and fell in love with one. That one is at the top end of our possible price range, which could potentially be a problem. Tomorrow we're going to look at it again (I went by myself today, Denis is coming tomorrow) and hopefully attempt to make an offer from there.

If we can't get that one there are a couple more on the list I'd be interested in but that one is perfect. I'm very excited :) I can't wait to see how this all pans out!
