so, thursday, i went and looked at some houses. some awful ones, some ones that were okay, one that would certainly do although it was a bit far east in st paul and i was worried that no one would ever ever ever come visit me there, and one that i kind of liked.

on friday, i emailed my realtor and told him that i'd like to bring a posse through to kick the tires of the one that would do and the one that i liked on saturday.

we went through the one that i liked first, everyone else liked the house. i told realtor bob to please call and say that we would not be showing up at the other one. then, i went and wrote out an offer.

this morning, realtor bob called me back and talked about what nice people they were who were selling the house and how they'd wanted to talk about it for a while and how he was sorry that that meant he was calling me back later than he'd meant to and once i'd turned blue from holding my breath, he told me that they'd ACCEPTED MY OFFER.

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

i'm pretty excited. panicky, but excited. i will post pictures later; if you'd like to see the house now, email me (betsy at moose party dot org) and i will send you a link to the listing.

holy cow.
