A House - Finally!

We've been on the hunt for a new home for the past 3 years and this past weekend, we looked at open houses as usual. We finally saw a house that was perfect for our family. It had all the qualities that we wanted and what the inlaws wanted, except it was pricier than what we'd like to pay.  We put in an offer anyways and hoped for the best.

There were other offers so it ended up with a slight bidding war.  We wanted the house enough to bid higher than the asking price: $12K more actually. And at that price with no subjects, we won the bid. We finally bought a house! Now comes the real work...cleaning up the current house and putting it up for sale. Crossing my fingers everything goes smoothly in this area.
