K and I have been casually looking at houses since we moved to this area, but we hadn''t seen anything in our price range that we really liked. Last week we saw a house that intrigued us and did a drive by, then went and looked at it yesterday with a realtor. Both of us just loved it. It''s within our price range, has a really cool view and best of all the ceilings are high enough for K (who is 6''7")!

We''re going to talk to the bank this weekend and see about getting pre-approved, then maybe make an offer. This would be the first home for both of us, so we''re both pretty nervous/excited!

If we do end up buying, we''re talking about just going down to the courthouse and getting married rather than waiting until next year and having a wedding. Eep! I could be married sooner than I thought.

How exciting! Keep us posted!

ETA: We just went through this ourselves, it's a lot of fun and very scary all at the same time.

Wowsers lady!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*****************MAJOR******************** dust for the weekend. Please keep us posted!
 
Congrats. I''m always watching those shows like "Property Virgins" and "First Time Home Buyers". It''s so exciting that you guys found a place you like. Also, now is the perfect time to buy. Especially since you get up to $8,000 back when you file your taxes at the end of the year if you buy this year. Wow, 6''7!!! That''s crazy

Good luck :), sending plenty of home buying dust your way :D
 
wow, awesome news!

good luck with the house.

so exciting.

Soooooo exciting LP!

FI and I were in your shoes almost exactly a year ago and I have to say it was the most stressful thing I''ve ever gone through (due partly to an incompetent loan processor) but we made it. I firmly believe that our relationship is all the most strong because of it.

Good luck at the bank!
 
WOW, LP! That''s double-whammy exciting news! Sending lots of **dust** your way!
 
That''s so exciting! Good luck to you both!

That is very exciting! Fill us in on any new developments :)
 
Can we see pictures?

Good luck with the loan officer today!!!
 
Well, the loan officer will actually be next Wednesday, so no developments for a month or so. I can post a couple of pictures of the house, though!

Here''s the outside of the house:

The front porch--you can see a little bit of the river view in this picture:

The (very retro) kitchen:

One of the upstairs bedrooms. This one has a view straight down the river & you can see several bridges in a row. Gorgeous!

The downstairs bathroom (love the stained glass!):

The downstairs bedroom:

Last but not least, the living room/dining room. Down at the end you can see the french doors that lead out into a little enclosed sunroom. Perfect for a little breakfast nook! You can also see the view out the windows (although it's a little bleached out). It's beautiful!
