First off, THANK YOU all you lovely people who *squeed* over the house and wished me good luck. We had it inspected and found a few things that were semi-serious, but thankfully nothing with the foundation, etc. The air conditioner gave us a couple of bad moments when it WOULDN'T START, but eventually the inspector and A/C guy banged and jiggled and got it going. Eep.
However, the seller is giving us some money in escrow for the air con. We are hoping he won't be difficult, but nothing so far has proved him to be otherwise. He obviously doesn't care about the house, wants it off his hands, and wants to do it as quickly and cheaply as possible. Our problem is, we are paying his asking price so that we do not have to deal with this. So, we'll see. I am getting my loan rate locked, meeting with the realtor, and waiting to see what the seller will do. Keep those fingers crossed! LOL...
And in other huge news, I was at my parent's house for dinner last night, standing in the kitchen, when all of a sudden, the Kid came rushing through the door! I must admit I

One of the benefits of living in a state that is essentially one big parking lot. LOL!
