Finally..We have a new home

After a frantic week we finally have comes to terms with the owner of our new home. Our initial offer was rejected and we were a little stressed. We did not come in with our best offer but we figured a quick closing would be a plus. We were mistaken as the owner had already lowered the price and was not willing to go much lower.

Nicole started her new job today and the kids and I drove down this afternoon. At 6pm we put in a counter offer but were not optomistic. Instead, we took the kids and showed them the remaining 4 houses on our list, none of which were perfect but would have to do. While we were visiting the last house the phone call came in along with the news that our offer was accepted. Yeah! Now for the fun part...financing, lawyers, insurance, moving, and selling our own home in Bathurst.

Still, everyone seems happy with our new home. All of the kids will have their own bedrooms and the house is completely renovated with new appliances! I think we have to change the windows in the basement and maybe some cosmetic touch-ups but other than that we are good to go. Hopefully we will be able to keep this home in better shape than our last?
