Our house is a very very very fine house




Our offer got accepted on a house in Onion Creek that we both love! It's completely nuts and I'm sort of freaking out in all kinds of ways.


Here are the specs:

  • Downstairs pretty much has floor to ceiling windows in any room you're in


  • It has a mini-atrium out the dining room


  • Saltillo tile downstairs, ceramic in kitchen, carpet in bedrooms


  • 3 bedrooms, master on ground floor


  • 2 1/2 baths


  • 2600 sq. feet


  • A friggin hot tub and inground pool!!!!!!


  • A view to die for

Aaron and I were able to get a pre-approved loan through the VA with no downpayment with what will probably be a 5% interest rate or less. I'm totally buggin about the fact that we may be homeowners in less than a month. There's so much excitement I'm going to bust. The seller accepted our offer last week and I can't believe everything is moving so fast.


I'll tell you, just with signing paperwork for the loan I feel like a total grown up. Plus, I'm not used to my new signature which looks like SPCamp so I had to think about it each time I signed one of the 50 billion pieces of paper work.


The inspection went well, a few repairs needed prior to closing, but nothing disastrous, ie, no foundation, roofing or other structural damages. Yay. Now for appraisal and negotiations on what we need fixed (ie, who pays for what) -- oh and getting fully approved for the mortgage.
