Little green houses for you and me

We have a purchase agreement! On Friday, we received word that the sellers accepted our third offer on the green two-story house. It was quite favorable to us, so we were excited! When we met with our agent the next day to sign the offer, we found out there was miscommunication between the sellers and their agent. The had not accepted our offer; they could only add 3 appliances to their last offer. It was not ideal for us, but we still viewed it as a good deal, so we signed an agreement. I was getting nervous when there was a delay in the sellers signing the agreement, apparently they were not in town. The next steps are moving ahead with the mortgage and inspection. The inspectors we wanted could not fit us in next week, but I was able to arrange another for next week. It seems like everything with this house takes a few tries before we get it right! I am worried about the inspection, as the house was built in 1900 and has likely not been inspected in 60 years. So, there could easily be a big surprise! The sellers have to remove the old oil tank from the ground and prove the soil oil-free, so hopefully that does not add time. We hope to close before Thanksgiving.
We have not had much excitement this week, except that we went "out" both nights this weekend. We had dinner out to celebrate the agreement, and then met new friends for dinner and a movie. I can recommend Away We Go, although I expected it to be more comedy than interpersonal (there were some very funny parts, though). I also thought it would fit us more, as we were moving and buying a house. However, it was more about parenting. It also seemed to equate making promises to each other while laying on a trampoline to wedding vows, implying that marriage is not necessary. Hmmm.
We had hoped to have one last outdoor day, hosting a BBQ on Sunday, but there was 100% chance of rain. It is cold and wet, we are deep in fall.
I have started my first dance class in 5 years, which is really fun. I have never tried Belly Dancing before, but have taken to it quickly.
Brian flew to Los Angeles Monday, were he was able to meet on of his goals: exploring the Reagan library. He will be in the area all week for work and I am glad that we are not often separated by 3 time zones.
