our offer was accepted

so, i don't think we're jinxing it by talking about it, but we're in escrow on a house right now. heather is really excited, i'm excited, but it kind of sucks waiting to get the deal all done. tomorrow i've got to drop off a grip of papers and such @ both our realtor and our finance company.

stay tuned, because i'm sure we'll be hitting you up to help us move our stuff. we'll also be trying to rid ourselves of some of the junk we've accumulated. if you've seen anything around our place that you want, let me know, i'll probably give it to you.

if you want to see some photos, click over here. we'll post some of our own later. btw, we're paying less than they've listed it for.

it's kind of strange, i know i'm grown up (sort of) but getting a house really feels like we're growing up. the house is in the same block as our current place, but three streets east of us. we'll still be in the heart of the tower, although i won't have a fabulous view of the tower theater any more.

things i'm looking forward to:
sitting on my porch with a cup of coffee
planting a garden in the back yard
having people over and entertaining in wide open rooms
playing cards at my kitchen table
a dishwasher

I know I just sent Hather and you a text but I love your house. It is so cute and the inside is beautiful. I am so excited for you guys and you have full access to my truck and muscle when you need it.

Also I am really jealous that you have a dishwasher.

Congrats!

Thanks Lulu, I am so excited because it is so cute! I can't wait to purge so much of the junk in our place.

Umm but I'm a little nervous with ed putting our address on the net. Am I paranoid?

So cute! Congrats to you both!

Also, is your realtor available? That bow tie is the hotness.

well, mel kilner isn't our realtor. he is the listing agent. our realtor is not available for dating, as he is married. and i've never seen him wear a bowtie.

Damn it, I was coming to make the bow tie comment too. Grrrrr @ H Mac.

That aside, many congrats!

Step 1: Buy a house.
Step 2: Have babies.
Step 3: Stop going out for a drink.

Congratulations. I'm excited for you.

dishwasher -- yayuh!

Can I add a step?

Step 4: grow a mustache. That's right. All us homo nerds -- err, homeowners-- are doing it.

edluv said...

carly said...

Ed. Grow a mustache. Don't be a wimp.

A mustache AND a bow tie.
I think the going rate on Ed doing these things is $7.
