Disregard last post (but the babies are really cute so I didnt want to take it down)

Ok so I didn’t want to take the pictures of the babies down because they are so freaking cute. But I have an update. I just received a call from one of our realtors Dorit and she said that they just got a call from the agent who said that she submitted all three offers (ours included) to the bank. She said that it would take up to 10 days for them to look at it and make a decision. The agent said all three offers are around the same, give or take, some of the offers asked for closing cost help, yada yada. All I know is that we offered asking price without any contingencies other than we are going to get an inspector to look at it before we sign papers.

Ok so we wait... up to 10 days.

Strike Two

This is me right now.













If you couldn’t guess why- they accepted another offer on the house. Absolutely not fair at all but that’s life right? I guess its back to the drawing board.

Still waiting...

Mandy called me a little while ago. She said the lawyers are going to hold off until Friday to make a decision. Apparently they have received three offers on the house and they want to wait to see if they receive any more by Friday.

Waiting Game

We did it again! Yesterday Erik and I put an offer down on another house! The house is in Red Fox, for those that don’t know Red Fox area is a really cute neighborhood. Now it is just a waiting game. It is a short sale so we have to wait for the offer to be approved by the bank. Hopefully no one else will put an offer down on the house because, well we both love this house, and we are very tired of spending one entire day of our weekends looking at houses. The house needs a little work but it will be so much fun fixing it up. Oh yea there is a pool in the backyard. I don't want to give too many details so let’s just all pray that it works out and we get this house and if we do then I will post pictures and tell you more about it!

On another note, the STDs are arriving at my house this Wednesday, a week earlier than they had originally told me they would be in. I am very excited to see how they turned out.

Oh and I am going dress shopping this coming Saturday! YAY

STD’s are in production

It has been almost a month since the last update. We had been super busy with Diana’s wedding, and boy was it all worth it, it was amazing; I know I learned a lot from her and I am once again in wedding mode.
It was great seeing everyone at her wedding and I can’t wait to see you guys again when you come back to DC in August.

I ordered our save-the-dates last week and I can’t wait until they come in. It takes them about 2 weeks to make them, then however long after that to get to my house. I want to send them out the first week of December so make sure you look for them in the mail. I was going to wait to send them out but Erik suggested I send them out in December because that is when people will most likely be making their summer plans. He’s a thinkerJ. I have been learning, or well attempting to learn calligraphy. It is very difficult, and I am terrible at it. Hopefully by the time I have to write the addresses on the envelopes I will be halfway decent. I apologize in advance for my infant-like handwriting.

Can someone please tell me why finding a house is so hard? House hunting has been a little frustrating. On Sunday Erik and I went and looked at about 20 houses and didn’t like one enough to put an offer down. It seems either everything is way overpriced or the ones that are in our price range are mice infested. Why does this area have to be so expensive? Only thing we can do is keep looking, hopefully something will come along.
