CROSS YOUR FINGERS

So the big news in our life right now is that we are under contract to buy our first house!!! yes, that deserved 3 "!"s. Tom and I have been looking for many months and have finally found what we think is our perfect house. It is only one block from the house we are renting, steps from the most adorable town you've ever seen and just minutes to my parents house (which is a good thing:)

We remain "cautiously optimistic" and will not allow ourselves to get too emotionally attached because the house is being sold as a "short sale". This means that the process can take anywhere from 2-3 months (not so much a SHORT sale now is it) and maybe even longer. Our fate lies on the hands of the seller's lender which is super uncomfy.

we both have been decorating the house in our dreams and i have already been discussing paint colors with my mom. I hope hope hope this doesn't jinx us!

I wont post a picture of the house (again because of the jinxing thing) but here is a picture of a bathroom i drool over complete with chandelier, a splash of black, and fab lighting.

maybe minus the eliptical machine.
