Check out our new "crib"
S: Ok, so we made an offer.. right you read that already. We were told that the agent would be meeting the owner at 3:30pm. The clock ticked and ticked and it became almost 6 o'clock without a phone call. PANIC!! We thought, this can't be good. The seller must have gotten other offers (we were told earlier in the day that the house had multiple showings yesterday and today). Finally, Vince had to call because we were ready to pull our hair out. Turns out that the owner's daughter had somekind of meeting and had rescheduled their appointment. Thanks for notifying us Mr. Seller's Realtor. We finally got a phone call. We had to do a counter offer from what they offered, but were thrilled!! They even included an AWESOME antique piano that we asked for that is sitting in the basement (there is no way they wanted to move it anyway) AND a bonus.. a ping pong table. SWEET!!! I also asked for the patio furniture for a low price, but we have not settled for that yet. The seller's daughter was so thrilled about the piano and the furniture because none of the kids wanted the furniture and they didn't know what they were going to do with it. She kept saying, "this was meant to be." I think so too!!
Here is the best part... our house closes on May 28th and to be honest I didn't think that this new house would be able to close on the same date. GUESS WHAT?? They agreed for the closing date of May 28th!!! Hooray!! So we are moving in 5 weeks. We are packing the basement this weekend and whatever else we find that we don't really need. It will go fast, but we can do it. I'll be up at 6am tomorrow morning to start us off and stop when Sofia wakes up around 8am. Fun!! We will need to do a couple of things to the house right away... put up a fence along the back of the house for the ravine, change the electrical to a 200amp service, and buy a new refrigerator (can't wait to see our economic stimulus check). We are so happy and can't wait to have a BIG party at the new house in the middle of summer. You're all invited!!

Well, that is just fantastic news! I'm so happy for the three of you! Looks like a charming house, and should be an even better home.
Congratulations!
I forgot to ask today... will you let me play on your ping-pong table? I'll need to start looking for my wristbands and lucky paddle!
It's kind of cool... you won't be that far from where I work and then Tom and Laura won't be that far from you. You'll all still be within pop-in range.
Wow, what a cute little porch. Congrats!
