Another Offer

This past Saturday, Glenn and I looked at more houses with my aunt. Again, the quality of the homes we saw was good like the previous weekend, except for one house that was right on a corner of a busy intersection with a stoplight. After looking over the list of houses we saw over the past two weekends (and dismantling my bed for the move), Glenn and I settled on a short list of five places

On Sunday after having a Mother's Day lunch of pizza and cheesecake and/or brownies at my grandma's house, Glenn, my mom, my aunt and I went to see the short list. After a lot of thought, Glenn and I decided to make an offer on a 3br, 2.5 ba condo in Irvine. The location is great and there is enough room for the two of us. It is a short sale, so we won't know for at least a month if our offer is accepted. The agent will submit the offers (there are two others at the same amount) this week. For now, we can continue to look until we hear something.

I am mostly moving out this weekend. My lease is not up until the end of the month, but by moving out now, I'll have time to clean and patch up the holes from my pictures and do any other work on the place. Of course, it's supposed to be 100 this weekend. I had to use my umbrella to get into work this morning because the fog was so thick. Great timing.

With my move and Memorial Day weekend following, I'm not sure when we will next look at houses. More and more are coming on the market, so I'm not worried about missing a weekend or two. I'm looking forward to relaxing over the holiday and spending time with my mom on her birthday. My Spanish final is Tuesday night, so Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will be all packing.
