House Revisited

Well, the kids are watching some crazy cartoon now so i got away. Ahh TV, what would parents do without it, they'd probably actually have to raise their own kids.
So we got this house thing done. Its pretty crazy how fast it happened. We heard of the house a few weeks ago from the wife's boss. She told us of a house going up on the mtn a little above our price range but pretty perfect for what we want. They kind of hooked up the people by showing it for them and doing all the paper work for free. So wife's boss showed us the house on sunday, we really really liked it. We called the wife's folks to see if they could come up to check it out, while at the same time were informe that the sellers wanted to get a contract squared away fast so they can close on their house that they're moving into. So that put us in the hot seat and luckily the wife's folks weren't too busy and came up tuesday afternoon. They looked at the house, liked what they saw, we filled out a contract and boom done and done. Well we wanted them to do some repairs and they countered with a bit of a higher price for said repairs and we agreed to it. Buying a house is a pretty crazy situation, its pretty exciting yet deathly terrifying. We hope to have all the funds ready by the closing in april. So its official i guess, the Holton's have a house. At least now if you come visit us you won't have to sleep on a couch.
