We are no longer home owners

Well, we closed on our house yesterday. It's kind of bittersweet, but I know it will be better at our new house. We close on our new house next Thurs but we're going to start moving in on Mon. None of the houses I've shown have worked out so it's a completely different house. LOL. It's 3098 sq ft on 1.3 acres. It's got 2 master bedrooms (one upstairs & one downstairs). It's 4 bedrooms & has a bonus room upstairs as well. I'll post pics after we've moved in. I'm completely stressed out from packing. My parents are coming in on Sun to help us move. So, pray for us!

We went and saw the house

and we love it!! Russ said we'd go ahead & make an offer tomorrow if we can find out what the utilities are. Woohoo!! So, here's some pics...

I've been reprimanded! LOL

Ok, I've been reprimanded for not updating about the house. We now have 2 contracts on the house. The second contract is forcing the first contract to close w/in 30 days or lose the house. The first contract has until tomorrow evening to show financial proof that they can buy the house (which we think they're going to do). We really want the first contract to go through because we really like these people & their offer was $2000 more than the second offer. We accepted the second offer because there were no contingencies, like having another house to sell. However, we don't like them very much. lol So, now we're looking for backup houses. If the first contract goes through, we think they'll let us rent our house from them until our other house is completed. But, if the second contract goes through we have to be out by the 27th of July. Either way, we're closing w/in 30 days. Do you think I need to start packing?!? LOL We have found another house though, that I LOVE!!! We're going to try & get in to see it tomorrow. So, we'll see how it goes.
