just kidding.

Turns out the inspection report on a house built in 1972 is not as glowing as more recently built home...after weighing the costs of replacing the septic system {that the inspector couldn't find, btw}, grounding wires for the majority of the house, replacing the fireplace, updating the kitchen and bathrooms, and ADDING a fourth bedroom {that apparently I just made up in my head}, Dave and I BACKED out of our adorable little house on the amazing lot.  This happened yesterday.  Yesterday, we went to a new house, fell in love with it, and put in an offer.  Today we got a verbal agreement with the seller that he will, indeed, sell it to us.  You know, so we won't be homeless come May 25th.  Here it is.  Much newer, but still with all that Salado charm.  ;-)  and with only one purple bedroom to repaint.


let me also add that we LOVE our realtor, Kiersty Lombar.  She was with my during my freak out moment yesterday morning {when I realized that my four bedroom house actually had only three bedrooms}, and she immediately began pulling other listings for me to see.  Then she drove back to Round Rock for a meeting and then back to Salado for Dave to see the house.  She RULES!
