The last two weeks...

So, it's been a busy past few weeks. Allow me to recap.

Friday March 9:
My parents came in to town because Saturday we were leaving to go to North Carolina for a week. My mom came with me to look at some codos because the topic came up about a month earlier that maybe I should buy. Mom, my realator and I looked at about 6 condos that I felt would be possibilities for me. The first condo we looked at, my mom and I both liked the best.

Saturday March 10: 8:30am- Mom calls and says, " I think you should put in a bid on the first condo we saw yesterday." 8:45am- I call my realator and appologize for calling at 8:45 on Saturday morning and ask to look at the condo agaon because we may put in a bid. We meet at the condo, look through it again and decide that we will make an offer. We then leave for vacation. 3:30pm- I get pre-approved for a mortgage loan.

Sunday March 11: Evening- The seller did not accept our offer and countered.

Monday March 12: Morning- We make a counter offer, then we go to see the Builtmore Estate (It was lovely by the way).

Tuesday March 13: Evening- We find out the seller accepted our counter offer...yay!

Thursday March 15: Afternoon- somewhere in West Virginia the home insepection is scheduled. Evening- arrive back in Columbus.

Friday March 16- 4:30pm, Home inspection.

Friday March 23- Still trying to figure out where the mortgage loan is going to come from, what colors I want to paint in my house and creating an on-call spread sheet for Nathan, Pete, Ben, and Patrick in case there are ever any bugs in my house (spiders in particular) that need to be "taken care of".
Anyways, I am mostly excited about being a home owner... a little terrified, but mostly excited!

Lyrics

I was inspired by Ashley's post... so here are some lyrics that have stuck out to me lately.

Sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first.
Sometimes, the first thing you want never comes.
I know that waiting is all you can do... sometimes.
