Dream Home #2... a success?

I just got a call from my [remarkable] Realtor... the sellers have ACCEPTED MY OFFER! AS WRITTEN! Now, this is not a short-sale situation so I don't have to wait for some bank to approve. My "purchase agreement" (aka offer) is now a binding contract!

My head is still swirling with everything that this means. My to-do list has just grown exponentially - and not at the best time of the year for me. Right now, we're approaching finals week in school (oh yeah - I'm a part-time undergraduate student), the Law School's Graduation is only a couple weeks after finals (my full time job is working for the Law School and one of my biggest tasks is organizing all the details for Graduation), and my current roommate at my apartment will be moving out at the end of this month (so I'll be helping him with that). On top of all that, I now have to begin the official loan application, schedule the home-inspection, and get my Earnest Money check dropped off to the Realtor's office. Oh yeah... then move once it's official.

But that's just focusing on the work. What this means in the big picture sense is that I don't have to live under anyone else's rules! If I want to have a roommate (or 3) I will have one (or three). If I want to have a cat and a dog and a parrot, I will have a cat, a dog, and a parrot. If I want to have people over at 2am, I will have people over at 2am! I will still be in the same greater neighborhood that I live in now, so I am close to work, close to my church, and close to shopping, eating, a library, and the Metroparks.

I will keep you posted every step of the way - and thank you all for your positive thoughts, comments, and prayers - I fully 100% appreciate your support!
