Super Exciting Friday!!

So yesterday, D & I both took the day off.  I had an appointment scheduled, so we just made a day of getting some errands done.

We ended up 30 minutes away getting our passports done.  We decided to take a cruise for our wedding instead of having a big traditional wedding.  We're really excited.  As soon as I get more details, I'll pass them on!

Then, as we were headed back to Salem, D was on our new favorite iPhone app "Trulia" (which we would not have known about without our awesome friends B & H) and saw a house he wanted to drive by.  Turns out, we really liked it, so he put in a call to the listing agent.



The agent came by & let us in.  We were instantly in LOVE.  We hemmed and hawed for a few minutes, (all the while another couple was wandering around too) and finally decided to call D's Dad.  My future in-laws met us back at D's apartment, and we headed back to look at the house.  After a quick inspection more than an hour of going through every detail, we spent some time deciding how much we really love it.  It was hard to believe that we were seriously considering putting in an offer on the FIRST house we had seen as a couple, on the day we received our pre-approval from the bank.

Let me just say here that D & I are very grateful that both of our dad's are willing to crawl in, over, and around every house we have looked at over the past few years so that we know exactly what we are getting ourselves into.

We met the realtor back at his office & put in an OFFER!!!!  We're pretty sure there's going to be multiple offers, so we aren't getting our hopes up too high. (Read: I already have renovation projects in mind, and last night we went to Lowe's looking at appliances.)

Hopefully we'll hear something from the agent in the next 48 hours!
