We bought a house!!!

Exactly one week ago, we went to look at a house, three days before it was to officially go on the market.  We loved it and spent a while looking around.  It had everything we wanted, including a huge trampoline in the backyard!  We put in an offer for it two days later and two days after that, we beat out 7 bidders to get the house!!  Inspection is this week and if all goes well, we will close at the end of June!
