We bought our first house in Wenatchee, WA! Of course, house buying doesn't go like you ever plan. We weren't even planning on coming out to find a house until the end of April. We were going to take a week to search around and scope the area. Well, this house came on the market when Tyler was in Pennsylvania taking his boards in mid-March. It got my attention. I talked to my realtor and she said it definitely wouldn't stay on the market for very long and I needed to come out sooner than later, if we were serious. Well, we were. So I made plans to leave the morning after Tyler got home, which was one week after the home was put on the market. I got my travel plans all arranged and the very next day, my realtor informed me that an offer was put on the house! So we did something very dumb with buying a house.... we put an offer on it without actually seeing it. It was pre-inspected, which really was a blessing because it helped us to make such a crazy decision 3,000 miles away with only a few hours to act. We would have 5 days to get out of the contract if we needed to, which gave me the time to come out and see the house. So, we just needed to make the offer look good and get it accepted. It did! I just kept praying that if this really was suppose to be our house, it would all work out. It was such a fast roller coaster of emotions and decisions that we had to make. Well, I went out and fell in love with the house even more. It really just sealed the deal. We are happy with it and are so excited for our future! As I look at the available homes that are for sale right now, the week we were planning on coming out, I'm disappointed to find that there really isn't anything that is catching my eye. It's just a confirmation that we got the right house.
