Cross your fingers and pray


We put in an offer on a house. Here's a picture of the kitchen. Unfortunately, someone beat us to it and their offer was accepted, but there was some question of whether or not the other buyer will follow through. I am excited by the idea of owning a home with an apricot tree. Werty is psyched about the backyard and the view. Oh yeah, it has a view of the mountains and the valley. We REALLY want it. We moved as quickly as we could, so now we have to just hope. Last week, we had another potential house fall through, but this one is SO much better. We were hoping to buy a house through the GNND program as a teacher, but it seems the program is running out of money. Houses that clearly qualify for the program are not being offered as eligible. It's a way to temporarily cancel the program without officially canceling it. The first week of school is not the ideal time to be starting the house buying process, but everything keeps pointing us in that direction, so we hope something works out.

Wow! That's beautiful! We'd love to come and be your first house guests where ever you end up :) Fingers crossed and lots of prayers :)

Wowsers! great space, and a WALL oven, a double oven to boot! That's what I want ideally, don't have to bend over to the floor--even if it is green, not the fad now. So much better than ours. (You know the requirement on any kitchen of another eventual house is that it can't be worse than this one.)

It may not feel like a good time but it really is a good time. Most houses sale is the summer before school starts so in the fall people drop prices to get ride of the house. Good luck!
