Did I tell you we made an offer on a house?

Did I tell you they came back and said ‘we have 4 offers – you are invited to give us your best offer’ (ie higher).

Did I tell you that we did raise our offer but only to what we could still afford?

Well, we did.

And, It’s confusing and I’m hoping for more details today. But our Realtor called last night and said they accepted our offer. And, they accepted our first offer…the one that was $13,000 less than our final offer! They want to close on August 5th. So baring any scary inspections results, we are going to be homeowners! In Northern California!! A place we never thought we could afford to buy a home!!

I was tagged by Amy – I’m blessed to work with her hubby.

Three Things…

…THAT SCARE ME: losing a family member, snakes and thunderstorms.

…I LOVE: God, my family, and knitting.

…I HATE: flies, fake people and fish.

…I’M DOING RIGHT NOW: I’m supposed to be working but I’m blogging, listening to my children play and wondering when everyone will go to bed so I can too!

…I CAN DO: knit socks, write and read HTML, make a really good clam chowder! ๐Ÿ˜‰

…I CAN’T DO: sing, watch TV without doing something else (I’m always reading or working with my hands while I watch TV), and parallel park. ๐Ÿ™‚ LOL Amy’s answers are mine too – so I’m leaving them here! LOL

…THAT ARE MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE FOODS: Fresh pineapple, Margaritas and Fajitas!

…SHOWS I WATCHED WHEN I WAS A KID: Gilligan’s Island reruns, Dukes of Hazard, Happy Days

And I’m tagging these people to do the same meme on their blog: Ashley, Lauren, Ruth (when she gets home), Julie and Theresa.

Thanks Amy – that was fun!
