update on the new house - real estate lady called today to tell me that seller gave verbal acceptance to my offer and would like to close ASAP. I dropped by my mortgage broker and finalized my loan app and he said he feels very sure that it is do-able.
Wow, this is moving fast. I took my D33 by to look at the house and she just loves it but agrees that it is a fixer upper.
more update from convo last night - after we got home and ended up smooching on the floor in front of the couch, we noticed that we have a couple of VERY Jealous puppies. every time we started really kissing we ended up with one or two chihuahuas trying to get our neck sugar or even wiggle in between us. I said that it seems that for us to have any time together we would need someone else to watch the dogs. She said we could leave them at one house and we could go to the other. This is a throw back to when we got married and it took almost 6 months to sell my home. to keep insurance on my house it had to be occupied so we would spend 2 or three days in my home then 2 or 3 days in hers. It sounded like a problem but we really did have a good time doing that. Maybe she is looking to get back some of our initial feelings again.
