After much deliberation, we've made an offer on the colonial! We love the space, the neighborhood, it does have somewhat of a backyard (not just as big as the rancher) and most importantly, it has a lot of potential for us to make it our own. Our initial offer was bounced back with a counter offer which we countered and now we're waiting to hear back. Keep your fingers and toes crossed!*
Also, my new cousin just sent a big conglomeration of the photos from wedding guests and I found this gem of me and Jon. I think it captures us perfectly...me laughing with my ridiculously oversized-for-my-face mouth and Jon laughing at me. That's usually the way it works! :) Happy Friday...hopefully I'll have good news to share soon.
UPDATED: BOOOO. They have countered again and it's not the price we want to be at. It took us a long time to come up with our bottom line and we're sticking to it! If there's one lesson we've learned, it's knowing when to walk away and thus, we're walking away and we know it's the right decision.
