So I am over the moon excited right now.
Like stand up, do a happy dance, high five your neighbor kind of excited!
We officially got our pre-approval for the loan on our fave (and most $$) house yesterday!
YAY!!
I'm not going to lie I was on pins and needles all day yesterday.
I don't think I've checked my phone and email that many times in my life just waiting for a response!
It's not that I didn't think we could afford it, because we can.
We aren't stupid enough to buy something outta our league.
But the bank will only use half my income when considering our loan. The other half (and quite frankly the larger half) of my monthly income comes from being a sub dental hygienist. As you may or may not remember this post, that's what put a hault on house hunting the first time. Apparently the banks don't like to give money to people who don't have "guaranteed" income. With all the foreclosures out there it's understandable. However when I see how much money I make coming in week after week it's frustrating when they say "Sorry, can't count it."
Well with my new part time (permanent and guaranteed) job I started after the new year we were praying it would be enough even though I'm still subbing 2 days a week making all that fake pretend money they won't count.
Lucky for us we have a fabulous loan guy who worked his ass off yesterday to make this work! I've never even met this guy but I want to hug him!
The best part is, our estimated monthly payment including all the taxes, insurance, etc is what we were paying on our mortgage back in Columbus. Ummm, hello how fabulous is that?!? Seems funny we're going from a 800 sq ft one bedroom condo to a 2000 sq ft 4 bedroom house for the same price. Thank you bad economy and fabulous interest rates!
We're officially putting on our big girl panties and making an offer tonight.
I'm hoping this is it for us!!
(I'm getting all choked up and teary eyed just thinking about it, I'll blame it on the hormones)
Fingers crossed people.
Extra prayers.
Lots of luck.
However you roll....send it our way!

Congratulations! I am so excited for you both!! It is nerve-wracking waiting for it to come through. That is also an amazing deal that your loan guy is working out for you. It sounds like a great house too. I can’t wait to have something bigger than 2 bedrooms.
Good luck with the offer and I’m sending lots of prayers and positive thoughts your way…keep us posted!
CONGRATS!!! I am super excited for y'all! I am sending prayers your way! WHEN your offer gets approved I would love to see pics;)
Congrats girl!! How exciting. Saying a prayer for you and your hubby.
Good luck!! I hope it's a speedy process for you guys! When my mom was pregnant with me, they made a move, and she was 8 months pregnant! I can't imagine!
PS. That sweet potato on your baby thing is not like any sweet potato I've ever seen! When they're comparing it to your child, couldn't they at least pick out a normal sweet potato?
Congrats! Such exciting news---hoping for the best for you!
All of your house hunting talk makes me want to put mine up for sale and buy again. I love the hunt for a house!
Yay! Congrats!
That is SO amazing! We are house hunting again and it's exciting and scary at the same time. I just wish we were where you were...almost done! ☺
Congrats! I can't wait to see pics of the new place!
YEAH!!!! Congrats!!!
That is so awesome and exciting and i wish nothing but the best. A four bedroom?! Ahhh...i wish i had a four bedroom. Keeping fingers crossed for ya!
That is awesome!! Our lender totally sucked...but by the time we figured out just what a moron he was, we were getting too close to closing to switch. If we had not had such an amazing interest rate, we would have pushed back closing and switched lenders...you are so lucky to have someone working hard for you!!
So exciting. Sending good vibes your way!
Congratulations! Putting in an offer can be nervewracking but very exciting!
eeee... congrats!!! that is so exciting!!! crossing my fingers that all goes well and you get your house!!!
