The day after we toured Washington D.C. we found out that we were finally under contract for a home (this was also the day of our 6th anniversary, so it was a very nice present to receive!)
This was the first home we made an offer on back in early December. We weren't able to come to a price agreement back then so we moved on (although we really LOVED this home and we compared every other home we saw to this one.) About 10 days ago the owners came back to us to see if we were still in the market for a home (we were) and if we were still interested (we really were!!) We raised our offer a tad and they accepted it. We are scheduled to close on May 7th, right after I get back from a trip out west.
We are really, really excited about this house and can't wait to start moving in. I will post inside pictures after we close because I am still afraid something might fall through between now and then. We had the inspection done last week and everything was great so hopefully after the bank appraisal, we should be good to go!

So yeah, we are jumping for joy around these parts. We actually spent part of our anniversary night out at Home Depot planning all the things we wanted to do/paint/install etc. in this new home. It is only 2 years old and very move-in ready, but it will be so nice to be able to put our finishing touches on a home again. We can hardly wait!!!
