Yea!! We got it !! I can't believe it !



“A house is made of walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams.”




Yes ! We got the house ...the owner accepted the terms we wanted plus they are paying half of closing costs. I have to say we are getting a really, really good deal. It is about $100,00 less than the original asking price. Got to love buyers markets. :)

We close on the house April 23rd -- we wanted to close May 10
th -- so for getting a good price we had to make that concession. The only bad thing is that we will have to pay the mortgage in June, my rent, and the wedding . So if you see me standing on the corner in June with a tin cup -- you know why. ;)

The owners are leaving us lots of furniture in the house including all the
sun room piece. Some we will want -- others will we Craig's list or donate.

Mike is going to go ahead and move in after we close. We do need to get some work done of the house before we move in so he
will watch over that. Me and the kids will not move out there until school is out for the summer.

All I can say is that I am so glad we got something with 90 percent of what we wanted. :)


Here is a link to the gallery with phots of the inside and outside of the house:

Thats great, we are looking at places in Reston, perhaps if Arlington doesn't pan out we will be neighbors!
