We get to buy a house soon!!

I am so excited. I went to talk to our apartment complex today about what it would take to get out of our lease. Our lease was signed until the end of November, but to take advantage of the first time home buyers credit we need to close by December 1st. Needless to say I was a little stressed. Well, I talked to the manager and since we have been such great residents we get to move as soon as we purchase a home!!! That means that we can move much sooner that we had originally thought. They need 30 days notice so we hope to find a house, place an offer and have it accepted by September 1st so we can move October 1st! WOO HOO! Now, that is my plan so of course things could change. However, we are officially taking steps to be home owners and I couldn't be happier. Now we just have to get pre-approval on a loan and convince some poor seller to give us a great deal. We are looking for houses in the Klein school district and so many of the homes I've liked have already been sold. There is one that we are going to look at this weekend and I'm really praying for good sellers. If the house doesn't sell I think I've found what I'm looking for. It's awesome. SO.... be praying for good sellers and that the right house comes available or stays on the market within the next month. I'll keep my 5 faithful readers posted as we go. :)
