So, we bought a house.

It was this crazy one-week process of finding a realtor, selecting properties to see, driving to the Cities, seeing properties, finding The House, and making our offer. The sellers accepted our offer and the house passed its inspection with flying colors. We close on August 1st and take possession at 8am on August 3rd. We're going to spend the 3rd and 4th taking care of various pre-moving tasks (getting phone, cable, and internet set up, buying furniture, etc.) and then move the next weekend.

I can hardly believe it - we're actually going to own a house!
