We Got the House!
Yay! After an afternoon of negotiating, we got the house. The final price was $21.5K less than the asking price, so I think we did all right. We close at the end of October, so we've got a few months to get ourselves into gear.
The thought has crossed our minds to keep the current house as an investment property. I'm going to try to research this a bit this weekend (well, maybe not on my birthday - I'll just eat cake instead). It would be pretty nice to make a little extra cash on a house that we worked so hard on to renovate. Plus, it would be really difficult to sell the place where we got married! But the money would have to work.
I feel much more relaxed now. It has been such a long week. Tomorrow we'll go by the new place to take some pictures.
