Three Times is a Winner!

After a week of negotiating, I have signed a contract for my very first house! It took three offers for them to accept, but they did, and I'm glad. I'm both terrified and elated about this new step. But when I look to the future for me and my boys in this new place, I can see us at peace there, growing into our new home together.

If all goes well with the inspection, I should move in at the end of July. It's hard to believe.

Thank you guys for your excitement and support!

I'm not sure why I almost cried, but I did. It's so nice to know there's a place you can have your kids and create a warm friendly environment that's yours. Congrats to you!

Hey,
I suck for getting back to you this late.. also, i've been trying to find your name somewhere so I went through a bunch of the comments you got. but weird how no one mentioned your name. haha.
I wanted to say thank you for your comments. It does mean a lot when I'm told that someone got something out my otherwise insubstantial posts.
