Update

We went to California last weekend for some job interviews at BUCKLE and we heard back this week that we didn't get them :( but while we were there we started the paperwork for a lease at these really nice apartments across from the mall we were going to work at. They are really close to my school and it was in a good location so it was convenient for josh to go to school to. They are called luxury apartments and they really were so nice. They had all the appliances including a dishwasher and a washer and dryer so that was exciting. They had a big pool and a nice gym and they were gated. Our apartment was a really cool floor plan and has a garage. It also had a view of the pool and the mountains. So we were stoked that it was available (it was the only one they had left and 3 other people came in wanting it while we were signing papers...pretty darn lucky)
Then when we got home we got an email from a real estate agent about the most perfect little house. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a 2 car garage, and its 1300 sq ft. It was built in 63 and there haven't been any improvements since then but its only 130,000 and that is the cheapest thing we have found that isn't a trailer or an empty lot. We were pre-approved for a loan and then submitted an offer that was 5,000 over asking price and showed proof of $20,000 down. there were so many offers already with in the first day that they are closing it today at noon. Our agents said that since we have such a big down payment and are offering over asking that even if someone else offers more or the same, we would still get it because of the down payment. So everyone keep your fingers crossed and pray really hard for us that we will get it. We need all the positive energy we can get!! We will keep you updated and let you know what happened.
