New News is Good News

Exciting things are happening in my world right now. I think Kelly and I have been pre-approved for a mortgage! This is an exciting thing, since we really, really want a house, and we didn't think we would be able to find someone to give us a mortgage, especially with my terrible credit. But we have 3 or 4 companies that seemed very interested, having already looked at our numbers. We already received a pre-approval letter from one company for $200,000, which is a little more than we can afford right now, but we're thinking in $150,000 and under range, that way we can take out the mortgage for more than the house is worth and pay off some of our credit card debt. Hard not to get very excited about the whole thing. We've already started looking around at houses on the net, and we have one we want to look at in Bridgton, which is where I grew up. Maybe we'll go look at it this weekend.
