New House!!!

Hey everyone! We have had a stressful, emotional, exciting couple of weeks. Several weeks ago, Neil and I start ed looking around at houses. We found a cute little neighborhood that we liked so we decided to check it out. It was a new development and there were two houses we were looking at, One was already built and the other was not. To make a long story short, we decided to put in an offer on the one already built, however it was more than we wanted to pay, so we just kept going back and forth and couldn't make up our minds! We got a counter offer on the house and we still didn't feel like we loved the house enough to stretch our budget so tight. We decided to reject the counter offer and get our earnest money back which I think was good decision. The next day we decided to look around some more and we actually used a different realtor the second time, because we were not to crazy about the girl that helped us before. We met our new realtor at a house and looked through it,we didn't like the house be we liked him so we gave him our email. That very night he sent us an email with a whole bunch of listings of houses in our price range with the things we wanted (way helpful). On Friday we met in the morning at a different house. We looked at three houses on Friday and we both really really liked the second one we walked through. We decided to put in an offer on the second house. Yesterday we got our counter offer and this morning we accepted their offer. So we are on the way to getting into this house. Hopefully the loan process with go smoothly and we can get into this house. We really like it and are excited about it. So for all you who are coming for Christmas, hopefully some of you can stay with us! Nothing is set in stone as yet so hopefully everything will be good to go!!!! YEAH I am so stoked!!! Neil and I feel extremely blessed and we feel that our prayers have been answered and we are really grateful. Here is a picture of the house.
