No longer homeless

The scariest time for us was when it was confirmed our house was sold, but we had not yet found a place we wanted to buy. Yesterday, during our second viewing of a particular house, we decided to make an offer. And tonight, it was accepted (we're waiting for all parties to sign, but we have verbal assurances from the listing broker that our offer was accepted).

So tomorrow, or Tuesday (Monday is a bank holiday), we will try to get financing for the house - hopefully a formality, since we had already been approved for the deal that fell through - and by Thursday of next week, the deal should be done. We'll then need to make a post-deal amendment to our sale, moving the closing date up to August 8th (from the current August 23rd).

We were particularly excited about the possibility of owning this new home, because it also has a pool.
