Wahoo!

We are SO thrilled! Not only does Jas have a job but we have more great news!

We've been looking and looking at houses, as you know. We had been told by a broker a while back that if Jas didn't get a job in the same field, we'd have to wait on getting a loan. Turns out that was erroneous info! We just got a pre-qualification done yesterday, hooray! Now this weekend we're looking a little more seriously rather than just well, we like this, maybe the owners will do a lease option. We have a long list to look at, but we both have a feeling we know which two we are seriously looking at a little harder, the two we tried to get a lease option on. It'll be great to be able to go back through with the knowledge that yes, we might just be able to do this.

Of course...they won't be getting full price now. ;-) Ah, coulda shoulda woulda....

Not going to go for the house below, I don't think. The more we thought about it the more we realized our hearts are really "beachside". If we could move the house over there, it would be perfect.

Will keep you posted. Also I need to tell you about our trip down to the Keys over Labor Day for the kid's birthdays. We had quite a time. Of course Cait's b-day isn't until next week, but we decided to do a combined b-day.
