We did it!

It's for real, we put an offer in on a house on Friday and the sellers have already countered our offer and we are now countering their counter offer. Did ya get all that? This is all going much faster than I had played it out a million times in my head. We haven't physically walked through a ton of houses, but for the price range that we're looking in, the school districts we're willing to send our kids to, and our need for at least 3 bedrooms we can't expect perfection. This house I believe is as close to perfection as we're going to get.

So, here's the rundown....
-3 bedroom ranch
-1.5 bathrooms
-1479 sq ft (the current house we're renting has barely 900 sq ft)
-almost 3/4 of an acre
-easy highway access for hubby going to work
-the same school district that we're in now, although Drama Queen would have to switch elementary schools
-lots of living space (the bedrooms are on the smaller side, but currently the girls have a large bedroom and they're always on top of us in our small living room
-quiet neighborhood with lots of swingsets in backyards

So, fingers crossed they bank accepts our counter offer today and we'll be busy with the inspection process very soon. I'm so nervous and excited all at once!
