The Hunt is Off!

We have found a house! And it's not a short sale! And the offer was accepted! And the inspector said it's in good condition! And we have a closing date!

And if that's not too much excitement for you, read on:
After 10 months of househunting (we started last December) - in which we saw more than 35 homes and had contracts on 3 homes and offers on 5, 2 real estate agents, and 2 mortgage companies, the Perez family has found their dream home. It is a 1930s, 2-story house with cedar siding. It has 5(!) bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an enclosed sunroom, a family room, a dining room, a kitchen, a mudroom, a laundry room, a back porch, an unfinished basement, and a very spacious back yard. The kitchen was recently redone and is huge.

Closing is October 30, but is dependent on the mortgage company agreeing to accept a letter from my employer rather than a paystub. (I won't have returned to work soon enough to get a paystub.) I hope to have a few pictures soon...meanwhile, keep your fingers crossed and the prayers coming for us, please.
