House???

We went down to the university that R will be working for on Friday so that he could fill out all his paperwork and we could see the campus (Little Man and I have never been there). It was a very new campus and was really nice. We went to R's office and met everyone, they were all so nice. I think that it will be a nice working environment for R and they all seemed very excited that he will be starting. We have a start date of October 30th so things are moving very fast.

Later that afternoon we met my friends K and J at the house that J still owes from before they got married. K also had a house she he moved in with her and has been unable to sell his house for over a year. He's been renting and really wants to get rid of the house. It needs some TLC because renters haven't been taking spectacular care of the place but R and I really liked it. It's about 25 minutes from R's work and just enough outside of the metro city but yet still not too far. After seeing the house they took us out to dinner at their favorite restaurant. We had a nice dinner and bid our farewells.

R e-mailed an offer to J this morning after calling him and letting him know. He said he would look it over today and see if it was acceptable. We are going to go the land contract way since we wouldn't be able to get financing right now due to debt and other factors. I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear back from him to see if he's accepts our offer. Regardless we're pretty sure we're going to get the house it's just a matter of figuring out the interest rate, down payment, and amount of years. I hope we get some news soon! R has been checking e-mail all day long but no word yet.

We will be moving out of my parent's house somewhere around the first of Nov because the people who are renting the house now have paid through the end of Oct. I cannot wait to have a place of our own and to finally be able to get all of our belongings out of storage. It will be so exciting.
