So, it has been a crazy busy two and a half weeks living "under contract." We are so confident that God is good through it all though. Two weeks ago, we looked at 13 houses in one day and not one of them felt like the right choice. Then we looked at three more that monday and found what we thought for sure was going to be our next home. Long and short of it, the sellers wouldn't accept our contingency at "that time." Though they wanted us to re-submit our offer after a couple of weeks of being under contract so that our contract would be more solid. That being said, we were disappointed but hopeful. After a day or so, we were ready to hit the ground running again and see what else was on the market~ basically, we continued to have little interest in the houses coming onto the market. Anyhow, we decided since the sellers were providing us with extra time, we would speak with the builders in this neighborhood to see how much we could build the same exact house for (this neighborhood is not quite finished). So, after several meetings with our realtor and the builder's rep, we decided that perhaps we wanted to build instead. Basically, for quite a bit cheaper, we could build the same house and pick out all of the details. So, we are "waiting on pins and needles" going into this week. Yesterday, we spent two hours working with our realtor and the builder's rep to write up an offer. The owner will take a look at it tomorrow, and hopefully, we should hear by tomorrow or early Tuesday if we will call 4605 Lemongrass Lane "home" come late summer. Please pray!
Busy week of celebration ahead~ can you believe Coby is really turning one on Tuesday?!?!?! Promise to keep everyone updated in the process this week!
