// - Signing an Offer & Good News at Work!!

I'm really glad I didn't post last night. I was going to, but it would've been filled with whining and bitching. But today was a much better day!

We've found the house we want and were preparing to put an offer in. Well, our realtor noticed the house has been moved [it's a manufactured and it's kick ass, so spare me the trailer park, because it's soo far from it :P] Anyhoo, so since it's been moved twice, it'd be next to imposable to find someone to finance us. Plus, we'd need to put down $4,500 rather than $2,500. Shit. Then my friend got some bad news, so it was an overall bad evening. I came home and had 2 Lindt Lindor chocolate things and a glass of wine and went to bed.

This morning, I was at work and the owner came in and said "We all need to talk" meaning myself and the other two secretaries. Crap, I'm thinking here come the hour cuts. Nope! He's been wanting to open a vinyl siding warehouse [I work for a Seamless Steel Siding company but we get folks who need vinyl repaired sometimes] Anyways, so he's been talking about this and I've been wanting to ask who gets to run it because it'd be in the same complex, but a different office. So today he is talking about how he wants to hire someone to run it. I was like "Not to be rude at all, but could I maybe do it so I can get more hours?" He thought about it and said, "We'd need someone to call at night" [I do followup calls on prior appointments in the evening] and I said, yeah, I could do that and even take some down with me. Then one of them suggested a split shift so I'd work in both places. Guess who gets to man the new vinyl office. Ooh yeah. I am so excited!!!! This is going to be a lot of fun! I've been making spread sheets for local contractors. Boo Yeah! That made my week right there.

So while I'm elated about the warehouse, I'm still sad about the house. I love this house, I can see myself raising kids in it. So I called and left our realtor a message and he called back later with fantastic news. There is a guy in Nampa [which is 2 hours from here] who specializes in financing manufactured homes!!!! And you need to have at least a certain credit score, I do, and need to put the 5% down on it. I'm like, "We can't afford it." Never fear, *drum roll please* we can do the $7,500 First Time Home buyer Tax Credit!!! Which will leave us with an extra $3,000 for various expenses. And manufactures can be included with this credit!! AHHH!!! YAY!!!! We are going to sign on our offer tomorrow evening!! I am so so excited for this!!!

Sorry no wedding details, but I was about to burst if I didn't blog this, haha.
