New Job
Last week Mark asked me if I would be interested in a temporary part time administrative position at the church. Of course I was interested. So I submitted my resume and had an interview on Tuesday. Today Kathy called me and offered me the job!! YAY! So I will be working with early childhood and Kathy Morrissey will be my boss. I will be working 19 hours a week through the summer, until they figure out some reorganization that might be happening.

disappointing
So Andrew has spent much time recently out at the house in OC and has found some things that are not so good. In fact we are fairly certain that the house would fail the inspection. And the amount of money it would require to get the house in good shape is more than we can do.
So we are going to pull out now before we pour too much money in this house. I did really like this house, but i have liked other houses too. So although I feel disappointed to make it to this point and have to start over, I am also excited to see what God has for us down the road
The search begins again.

YAY!
So after that second offer came in we we raised our offer to 170,000 (asking price was 199,700) hoping that we would be higher.
A couple days later we found out that the other offer pulled out and the bank countered our offer with 175,000. We talked with our mortgage guy and he said that we would be able to accept that offer, but it would be at the highest point we would be will to go. So we talked with our agent (Aliz) and she said we should counter with 172,000 and let her play a little hard ball with the other agent. so we sent that offer in and waited....
the weekend came and went and on Monday we found out that our agent was doing a lot of wheeling and dealing on our behalf. Apparently another offer came in and the agent representing the bank told Aliz to make sure we have our best offer in case this other offer is higher. Aliz worked her magic and eventually wore down the agent to the point that he admitted that our offer was already higher.
Side note: for those of you who ever try to buy a house, make sure you have a very good agent on your side because the other agent was trying to trick us. So thank you Aliz!
We found out today that the bank accepted our counter offer and so now everything starts moving. Inspections and appraisals, insurance, and paperwork.
