Holy cow, we got the house! They didn't accept our first offer but they countered and we countered their counter...and you know how it goes...but it ended up and they accepted!
Of course, everything is pending inspection and the bank and all those other hoops to jump through, but, we are under contract (yes! $8000 tax credit!) and all looks to be going in the right direction.
It was quite funny because Chris and I had still really been debating house vs townhouse and we actually didn't think they would accept our second offer. We had convinced ourselves that we didn't want the house anymore, and we wanted to get the townhouse...then we got the call...UH OH! I'm glad we hadn't completely made up our minds! But, we're super excited and happy and maybe for once in my life I'll feel like a grown up ;)
Now we need to start getting stuff to fill the house up...I've never shopped at IKEA but I have heard pretty awesome things. May need to make a trip up there soon. It's going to be a lot of fun to set up our new home!
We still have quite a bit of time left, though, as we don't close until June 1. That way we don't have to double up on as many rent payments WITH a mortgage...but June 1 seems so far off- I can't wait!

Congrats! Home ownership is a ton of hard work, including days where you think yourself crazy for buying in the first place, but it is completely worth it in the end. So excited for you guys!
And, P.S. I really didn't feel like a grown up until I bought my SECOND house. Now, I am officially old.
