We're Buying a House!

We Found a House! Justin and I have been casually looking at houses for a few months now. So about a month ago we decided to try to get pre-approved(thinking it would take a week or two) so I sent in the paperwork, a lady from the bank called me and asked a few questions then within a few hours of sending in the application she sent over the paperwork saying we were pre-approved! Wow! So Justin then texted our friend and realtor Benj Beaver and told him what we were looking for and our price range, so Benj sent over a list of houses currently on the market. We picked out 5 we wanted to look at. Two of them were in terrible neighborhoods but really nice houses, 2 were in nice neighborhoods but the houses were small or would need work, and 1 was a nice house in a nice neighborhood but didn't have central heating and AC. So we had pretty much ruled out the last one but decided to look at it anyways. While looking at the other houses with Benj and weighing neighborhoods and houses Justin mentioned to Benj that we really like the last house on our list to look at but we just wished it had central heating and air. To which Benj replied "It does!" So we got very excited and went and looked at it and LOVED IT!! Also we just happened to know the owners! They were assistant pastors and friends of my parents when we went to TLC. It was listed above our max price but Benj said he thought they would take a lower offer, so we made an offer and the countered with $1,000 more but said they would fix a few things around the house that needed to be done so we agreed! Right now we are just waiting to close on the house. We had to move out of our rent house Feb 28th and close on the new house on March 13th so all our stuff is in storage and we are staying with our awesome friends Michael and Mindi(Thanks guys!!) until we move in.

Here are pics and video of the house.
