We found one!

Jeff and I have been looking for a house for about 2 months now and we think we have found the one. We loved it so much we decided to make a bid on it yesterday afternoon. By contract they are required to respond to our bid by six o clock tonight (March 12th). Let me just say that I didn't get much sleep last night. It was definitely because of the mix of emotions. Excited, scared, nervous about if they will except the offer, and thinking about all the exciting things we can do to the house, where are we going to put things... and on and on. Now Jeff on the other hand had no trouble sleeping at all. :) I'm sure he is excited he is just a lot more level headed than I am sometimes. He doesn't want to get his hopes up and then be disappointed. Which is something that is very hard for me. Oh how I wish I could be more like him.

We are so excited!!! The excitement is there for a couple of reasons. One, of course it's our first home together. Two, it will get us out of our apartment. We have been living in an apartment in West Columbia since the wedding and I have been living there since 2005. So even though we are very thankful to have our apartment we are ready to leave. It's always just felt like my place not our place. So it will be nice to know that this is our home 100%.

Well, I am off to await the phone call that decides the next step in this house journey. I'll report back with more news later. Please keep us in your prayers!
