OMG - We Got It!!!

So, the long and arduous journey of looking for a house has finally come to an end. But yet, this is only the beginning! Evan and I - though discouraged from our recent lack-of-luck with houses - went to look at some more houses last night in Manville. The first one we saw was pretty much the same as two other houses we already looked at, plus the people were home, so we were out of there pretty quick.
Let me sidebar for a moment. At lunch yesterday, I was telling my coworkers that Evan and I hadn't yet found a house that we felt was "THE ONE." Every house we've seen, even if we liked it, there was always one or two things that we thought about later and didn't like. Like, the kitchen was too small, or the bedrooms weren't big enough, or there wasn't enough space for all our stuff...you get the idea. So we were still waiting to walk into a house and say, "This is IT!"
Ok, back to the story. So, the next house we looked at was just around the corner, and of course it was dark out so we couldn't read the numbers on the houses. Once the realtor found the lockbox, she let us in, and immediately we both went, "Wow." We went in the side door which led into the kitchen. I remembered seeing this online and remembered that this was the one with the nice kitchen. Then we discovered that there was a dining room - I've never had a dining room!! There was a beautiful chandelier in the dining room and beautiful window treatments. Then we saw the living room. Spacious, bright, nice hardwood floor. The master bedroom was perfect. Not too big, not too small. Plenty of closet space. There was a half-bathroom next to the bedroom. Nice. Upstairs was the full bath and two extra bedrooms. Both very spacious with lots of opportunity. Plus, all the appliances are included! The basement was nice. Clean, spacious, and complete with a washer/dryer.
This was it. Our realtor immediately called to find out the scoop on the house. It was recently lowered in price and had been on the market for over 5 months. There were no current offers on the table - yay! So, we hung around and soaked up the house for a little while longer and headed right back to the realtor's office to make the offer.
I got a call today right after a meeting at work. Our other realtor Paul said "I have good news and bad news." "Ok, gimme the bad news." The bad news was that we are going to owe him $1000 soon, but that also meant that they accepted our offer and we got the house!!! AAAHHHHH!! Here it is:


So, please make your checks out to Evan and Aubrey Walter this Christmas because we're going to be broke!!! But we got a house!!! I will let you all know when the party will be.
Thanks to all who prayed for us!
