It's official, our short sale offer has been approved! And so we take the next step in this ambiguous journey of first time home buying. We are excited and thankful to be moving along in the process, as well as a little overwhelmed. Okay, a lot overwhelmed. We had our inspection on Friday which revealed a bum garage door, an uncooperative air conditioner and various electrical issues that need to be addressed. Add those to the list of several other improvements needed in the house and it looks as though our bank account will be dwindling rather swiftly. We are, however, looking forward to making it our own. The dogs are looking forward to more space and their own backyard, I'm looking forward to front and back porch swings and Corey is looking forward to free reign of the bonus room. There are still many, many forms to sign, as well as a very big check to be written, before we get the keys to our new abode, so in the meantime we researching our home improvement options and trying to save as much as we can (although, I seem to find this particularly difficult when thinking of decorating a new home :). When the time comes for us to leave our cozy apartment it will certainly be a bittersweet change (especially since I'm not greatly fond of change) but an exciting new chapter as well as new opportunities in this California journey.
