Tyler and I had been talking about buying a house since last year. We started saving for a down payment but it wasn't until Tyler got hired with Chandler that we actually started looking. We got renters for our townhouse and moved in with my parents while we looked for a house. We literally looked at a hundred houses and probably a hundred more online. It is kind of funny how we got this house. After months of searching, looking and losing houses we were getting disappointed. We didn't know what else to do because we had seriously looked at every house on the market. We had 3 houses that we had saved in our "really like" folder and we checked them regularly hoping one of them would be active. When I went to check our folder there was a house saved in "favorite". I hadn't been to the house and I asked Tyler and he hadn't seen it either. There was only 1 picture so we figured that meant the inside was trashed. It was also cheaper than all the other houses which also meant it was probably in bad shape. We decided to look at it anyways. I was sick the day Tyler went to look at it. When he got home he was really excited and said he loved it. It also had 5 bedrooms instead 4 like the listing said. He said he wanted to make an offer. I was too sick to care so I said to go ahead. I started to worry we were going to buy a house I hadn't seen so I scheduled a time to see it with our realtor. I was early arriving to the house so I had to wait outside. I had this great feeling just sitting there. When I actually went inside I was really surprised. It had everything on my list! I told the realtor it was the house I wanted. Regardless of it being a short sale it was our house 2 months later. There were too many crazy things that went right with this house it was meant to be our house.
