Counter offer

Well, the seller made a counter offer.  They pay half the closing cost (about $1500) and we pay the rest.  We told our realtor to counter with them paying $2000 and us paying $1000, but made it clear to him that it's not a deal-breaker.  I don't want to lose this house over 500 stinking dollars.  I am not good at bargaining, and this is my future.  I'm so nervous. 

I mean, I agree with mom.  If it's meant to be, it shall be.  If it's not meant to be, there are other houses.  In fact, there's the other one that I liked, less than a mile away!  It will be ok, it is all good.  Breath in.  Breath out.  I shall not rest easy until keys are in my hand.  Even if we sign papers and are told that it's a done deal....keys in my hand, baby, keys in my hand.

In other news, Kevin and I leave for Chicago tomorrow evening.  ROAD TRIP!  I am looking forward to meeting some awesome online friends, and I just made a batch of about 15 lbs of lasagna for our dinner.  PHEW!  That's done.  Now to watch Survivor and then pack for the trip.  Chicago here we come!

Just remember, in return for my babysitting this weekend, you gotta take me someplace next Saturday.  Bribery.  I love bribery.
