If I had possession over judgement day.

I downloaded a Robert Johnson CD off of iTunes because it was $7.99 and I had just listened to him last night while cruising at night in the warm weather to Rachel and Adam's house.

I finally saw the interior of the house I have been obsessing over the last few days. It's been on the market for 12 days, which doesn't surprise me because I knew it had to be new since I had never seen it before in my searches on GNIARMLS. (I always say it like "grr, animals!" in my head when I type in the web address.)
Well, the inside needs some work--cosmetic things that wouldn't effect it's livability.
It thankfully doesn't have narrow rooms. They're fairly square and spacious (I first spelled that spaceish...wow.). It's a nice layout for 903 sq. ft.
The exterior looks good. Some peeling pant--big deal. Good roof, nice big yard, new windows, I'll have to put up a fence right away.

So I put in an offer. $35k, $900 less than they were asking. I didn't want to go so low as to insult them but why offer full price when you don't have to?

There's so much to do now. I have to call the bank, tell them I found a property, etc. But at least I went through the financing thing yesterday. I'm glad I have this week off. No way would I be able to work and juggle all of this.
But it's all going to be worth it. I have the money. I have the resources. Whether or not my parents want to admit it!

I should call my dad...no. I'll wait until I can tell him in person. Of course he's on the East Side right now laying down sod at the church. You'd never find him doing any sort of thing like that here.

Now I'm having trouble gathering my thoughts. I mean, I just signed papers saying I want to buy a house....but I don't feel nervous/bad...it's all nervous/good.

I just got a call from the realtor and she said that she talked to the listing against and he said it looks like a go. ?!?!?!?
