Well, like 95% official, at least. Last night I got word back that Max and I have been pre-qualified for a new mortgage loan! There is still the signing of the agreement and the underwriting, but hoping to take care of that by next week. We got approved for the amount that we both agreed on. Didn't want to take on too much, so we found a happy medium range. I am so very excited. I have wanted this for so long and it's finally happening. Ryan is putting me in touch with a realtor with whom he's worked many deals with and who he says is amazing. There is an Open House this weekend that I plan on going to, and that will be my official first house that I look at. My fingers are crossed that we can find something quick and easy. Especially before the end of April when the tax rebate expires. I think as long as we are both proactive in looking at houses and negotiating, we shouldn't have a problem. I'm admittedly sad that we will be further away from the city and most of our friends, but I think the suburbs is the best option for us at this point. I can admit that I've always known I'd move back out to the 'burbs, and I'm okay with that. The drive will be a little longer, and I will have to deal with traffic again, but I think it evens out. Lola will have a yard to play in, a sidewalk to run around on, a neighborhood to grow in...which are, after all, the most important things to me.
Now onto a major savings spree to add on as much as possible before closing! I guess my highlight touch-up and haircut will have to wait.
Wish me luck in this new endeavor! And, just to let you know, I've already begun our house warming gift registry.
Just kidding.
Maaaaaaaaaaaybe.

YAY!! Hope it all works out perfectly!
it will be a bummer when you're further away, but if you're moving to SL, that makes it a little less of a bummer.
Congratulations! I hope you find just what you want, and soon!
