House Hunting

Well, we've made the big decision to buy a home of our own. With us both beginning new jobs, we felt it was finally time to stop paying someone else rent! I think we've looked at every home in Granbury during this process, spending many of our weekend hours driving around the city. We made an offer on a house a few weeks ago, then got scared & pulled our offer out before it was reviewed by the owner! It's such a big purchase & we got scared! We've now decided to look into purchasing in Weatherford (about 30 min from Granbury) because the market is better & we can get more house for the money. It will be about a 40 min drive for me to my school, and about the same for Cody. We made an offer on a home near the square in Weatherford two days ago & are still waiting to hear back! It is a precious 4/2 with white siding and a cottage feel. The inside has been completely remodeled so it's move-in ready too! It also has a huge backyard for Soph to enjoy (she's had a tiny dog run for the past 8 months so she's super-excited!). It's a foreclosure and that is why the process is a little longer than we'd expected, but we are praying it will become ours very soon!

Oh my gosh! So exciting! What is the latest? Any word? Have you had the inspection yet? How funny that we both started blogs! I updated mine today and will have to post pics of the house here in a bit. Love and miss you~ D
