Today Amy and I signed our purchase agreement and put down our final deposit. That means we officially own 1.13239% of our house. I think that translates into about one doorknob and three drywall screws.
The signing came at a great time, as I needed the excitement following an early morning loss in church league basketball. Ok loss might be too nice a word, but that's not the point. Let's just say we felt better than Illinois did today against MSU, but not by too much.
Anyhow, we officially have nine business days to freak out and back out of the deal, but that's not likely to happen. On our way to the signing we drove through another new neighborhood right by ours and ran into friends of ours who are closing on their house in October. Not even a hole in the ground and we know the neighboors.
Construction should start sometime in the next couple weeks. We found out that six of the 11 homes for sale in the first row of homes they opened are sold, so they're going pretty quick.
Amy and I still walk around saying things to each other like "Are we really buying a house?" It seems too good to be true, but God has really led us through this home buying process the whole way, and it's led to great things.
Anyhow, more to come later. Go Green!
