We got the house!

Hub and I placed a bid for the house and the seller countered, but only slightly. It didnt even make a dent in our plans. The seller did throw in the fridge, so that is one less thing I have to think about. Yay. Of course, it snowed about 8" last night here in Detroit, and I had to wait until the drive was cleared to get my car out. Then I had to go to Kinkos to print the documents, sign them and fax them back to Cowboy Jack. Oh and speaking of Cowboy Jack, he is just tickled pink over all of this. Of all the houses we looked at, Crazy Horse was the house he liked best anyway. He pointed out many of the details as we wandered through it, commented on the craftsmanship and also the heating and cooling system. He said it was top notch -- not typical for a standard builder's system. Well, I hope so. The house has two furnaces and two air conditioners and it better work; its less than 3 years old! Cowboy Jack has other reasons to be happy about this sale. His company has the listing agent for this home too, so all of that tasty commission goes right to them! (Jack did not limit the available homes to the ones that they were representing. We saw a number of homes that were for sale by other companies.)

Financing the beast and home inspection is next on the hit list. Then...a tentative closing date at the end of March. Could it be that I may be in my new home by my birthday? What more could I ask?
