Our House!

It's official, we are now house owners!

For the past year we have been looking at houses.  In the beginning we looked on the internet to see what kind of house we would like and what things were important to us.  Then just before Summer vacation we went and looked at some houses that we knew were in our price range in a small town called Lyne.  It ended up that the house we were interested in got sold right under our noses so we put the process on hold.  But as our God only knows best, not getting that house was the best thing that could ever happen to us!  In the months since Søren and I have talked a lot about WHERE we would want to buy a house and agreed that we didn't want to live in Lyne and put ourselves in between our two worlds of work and friends, but rather that we wanted to move to Skjern a much bigger town where we have quite a few friends already.  So our search was broadened to the Skjern area and we immediately found a house that we really liked....at least from the pictures.  The next step was going to the bank to see if we could afford this house, and after a lot of budget and loan talk we found out that we definitely could!

So yeah, we decided on a Friday that we would call on Monday to book a viewing of the house. That Sunday Søren was looking at the house again on the Internet and saw that the sellers had lowered the price! And it was quite significant drop! We were so excited, it was the perfect timing!

To get to the point, we went and looked at the house and loved it! We both pretty much knew that this was the house we wanted! A week later Søren and a friend of ours who knows a lot about building houses went to look at it again and examine some things in more detail.  Our friend thought everything looked good, so we decided to make an offer.  They didn't accept our first offer, so we had to think about how much we were willing to pay for this house....we thought about it over the weekend, made a counter offer and they accepted!  So yeah, we went to the bank again just to make sure everything was in place and signed the papers yesterday!  We are very excited and will be moving in April! It's all so crazy but very very exciting. I will post some photos from the Relators website.
