JUST PUT AN OFFER!!!

We officially put an offer down on a home last week! Signing all of the paperwork was very intimidating! And we still have a little bit more to go! Tomorrow we are signing more paperwork, the bank will be doing some processing and we will officially be UNDER CONTRACT! AAAAHHH!!!! It's VERY EXCITING BUT VERY NERVERACKING! YOu want everything to go smoothly but there's always a few stumbles in the homebuying process. This will be our VERY FIRST HOME! We are very anxious, nervous, worried, overwhelmed and excited! It's kind of... a BIG DEAL!

With the Lender smackdown, so to speak, it's difficult to get money lended to you...but alas, we found a home, in great shape, in an okay area, with plently of room! The Home is just blocks from the Gateway Mall in Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. We will be city dwellers, living an an historic victorian style home. This home was built in 1901. It has alot of character and in GREAT shape! It has new carpet and tile in it too. The kitchen is big, there's a good sized mud room in the back, fenced front and back yard, good basement for storage(we call it the dungeon), high 10 foot cielings, good sized rooms, big family room w/ a big pretty bay window and the original historic crown molding around the doorways! It's quite nice. Yes, there'a few things that need to get repaired but nothing major...we'll see with inspection!!!
The downside is...we need EVERYTHING!! All appliances and all furniture! Thank goodness for family!...OH...and craigslist or KSL! lol.

I'll keep you updated!!!
Hopefully this will be the V FAM HOME!!!!
