An Offer on a Home...

We put an offer on a home today!  Ahhh....where did that come from, huh?  I think I told you about the 2 homes we liked in 2 different subdivisions, but both were overpriced.  They still are overpriced, but another home came on the market in one of the same subdivisions.  We went through it today and liked it and had to put an offer in because there were already 1-2 other full price offers on that the seller was getting ready to accept (our realtor got lots of details from their realtor before we walked through it).  The funny thing is it's the exact same floor plan as the overpriced one, but with the addition of a huge, fabulous sun room.

I am such an indecisive person that I'm all out of whack today.  Never did I dream I'd walk through a house and put an offer on it within the hour.  I'm the one that spends hours and hours researching something and then thinking about it for forever before I finally make a decisions.

I know that a lot has to happen before it's actually our home (inspections, financing, etc.), and I'm ok with that.  It's such a huge step to buy a home and I haven't quite had time to process it all.  I think that's partly due to the fact that I'm still tired from what felt like the whirlwind selling and moving tour.  And it doesn't help that we're just starting to have to do some sleep training since waking up 4-5 times in the night isn't ideal for anyone in our house. 

It's a nice home with a lot of space and everything we want in rooms, etc.  It's 4 bed/2.5 bath with a formal dining room, office, and sitting room.  It's the first one on a cul-da-sac in the back of the subdivision.  It was built in 1990.  But there are some issues with it- corner lot, no basement, probably will need a new roof and a/c units soon, and there is a tree root going under the front sidewalk.  I knew we would never find our dream home with absolutely everything we wanted in the price range we're willing to pay as well as in this award winning school district, but people told me I would know it's the house for us when I walk in it and I wasn't really feeling a feeling.  Does that make sense?

And here I was getting ready to finish a post I was working on about waiting for something (in this case a house) being the lesson and how I was so content to wait and see what God had in store for us with a home.  hmm....definitely wondering if this is God's plan or not.  Maybe the rushed timing was good because I was forced to make a decision quick rather then hemming and hawing about it for days or weeks.  I'll still see if I can get that other post finished and published, but now it might seem a little funny to ready.  Perhaps I need to go back and re-read it to myself!!
