Offer Accepted!
House hunting was a success! Two thumbs up! 
What a whirlwind day it has been! We found our dream house, made an offer, and it was accepted by the sellers this evening! I still can’t believe we are soon-to-be homeowners! Holy moly!
More details tomorrow!
P.S. This photo was taken in our new home’s master bedroom!

That is amazing! I bet it’s so exciting for you two! This is totally un-food related but my dad is a home inspector and I know how important that is when you’re buying a house so I hope your realtor is encouraging you to get one! Random little tip just in case they haven’t! Good luck!

Would you mind sharing the real estate company you worked with? We are looking to sell our current place and (hopefully) buy a condo in the South End. Recommendations are always helpful, especially because we didn’t use a realtor last time around.
Kaye — July 4, 2009 @ 10:13 am
WOW! That was fast
What an exciting new chapter of your life about to begin. Believe me, I know. I just purchased my 1st new house this last December and it’s been so much fun! Work and fun, but SO worth it. Congrats!
