Well, we've moved! We've also got a contract on our house. As we were loading
the Budget truck, we had a showing. The couple (a nice Christian couple with a
little baby daughter) arrived about twenty minutes before the realtor, and I
invited them to come in out of the heat since they were there so early. So they
were there for a long time, and they loved the house, you could tell. We signed
the contract that evening before we left, and actually before they had
officially made the offer. The next day they offered us a lower price, and then
we gave them a counter offer and they accepted. We sold it for $104,500 and we
will pay the closing costs. They have not been pre-approved, but they should
qualify for the loan. They had had issues with USDA a year ago when they tried
to buy the house down the street and were not approved, but they've resolved
those issues and USDA says they should be approved now. The issues were that
they were students and they didn't know if they were going to stay in the area.
Rather ironic, considering Erick and I got the same loan under the same
circumstances. Anyway, they have decided to stay in the area, so that shouldn't
be an issue anymore.
We moved last Thursday, and this house is a lot
different from the one we are used to. We've got it cleaned up quite a bit, and
it's feeling more homey now, but we still don't have carpet on the livingroom
floor. A man is coming from Home Depot Friday to measure for it. It has a lot of
cracks in the drywall upstairs from the car that went through the wall, and
there is a lot of work to do here. We could live here a couple of years with
this arrangment (fixing it up in place of rent) although that's not exactly what
we want to do.
Today I got my phone and internet turned on, so this is
the first time I've been online since we moved.
I started my new job at
Taco Bell yesterday. It's okay, but it's not like MY Taco Bell. Today I had the
day off, so Erick spent the day putting in applications.
I'll try and
get some pictures up fairly soon.
