Update-
We are impatient and waited, maybe 2 weeks to hear back on the colonial house, and then we started looking again :-) And we found the kind of house I wanted from the beginning...a good size ranch. We have gone through the negotiating, acceptance, inspection, and now we are just waiting for a closing date! I am very excited and thankful. It's a solid house, but needs updating. All the majors (roof, furnace, air, windows), it's very clean, but we just need to get new carpet throughout and figure out a way to update it. Unfortunately, I do not have any decorating skills, so we'll see how it turns out.
I'll have some before & after photos once we get going. I hope you can tell which is which!!
