and the hunting begins!!! :O)

Rob and I have decided to put down some roots here in the big Oburg!! So here is the timeline of what is going on to this point....

2/8/12-- first meeting with our Realtor. Manny wanted to know what we wanted, how much we were willing to pay, and etc. Next step, was to get some money!!

2/15/12--met with Manny again b/c had a few more questions. He directed us to Rodney at SCB&T.

2/24/12-- met with Rodney at SCB&T. He told us we were pre-approved!!! We were so excited!! Called Manny right away and he wanted to meet with us! So we met with him the same night!! We picked out some houses and he told me to send him more and we would set up things for the weekend of the 3rd!! :O)

3/3/12-- mom came to stay the weekend with us and to help with the hunt. We started out around noon at the first house. It was small but cute. I loved the kitchen but need more living room space for me. so ultimately it was a no. the next house was a bigger home in a neighborhood. as a realtor, Manny cannot tell us whether or not neighborhood is good or bad. he did tell us though to take into the account how people decorate there homes and also the yards. well needless to say, mom said no to the neighborhood really fast so that was three more houses as a no--we did look at one and it was AWFUL!! holes in walls and everything...HORRIBLE!! we decided to look at two more today. we went to one in an older neighborhood and the home was nice. it was pretty big but need some updating, i kept it on my list of yay's!so the final house of the day was in a great neighborhood. we know a few people who live in it so we were comfortable there. we walked in and i was like YES YES YES this is it!!! The kitchen is huge, living room huge, back porch, front porch, EVERYTHING I WANT!!! Rob and mom love it too. So Rob and I needed to talk this over. We went to lunch with mom at San Jose. We decided then we wanted to make an offer.

so our next step in the process begins tomorrow!!! we will be sending in an offer and I am so nervous. I do have to continue to keep in mind that if its not meant to be then it wont be. God will lead us where we need to go.

So fingers, toes, etc. CROSSED!!
