A Valentine's Day to Remember...

...and, no, it is not because of some super romantic scheme or gift that Justin thought up. He is not that guy. Reliable, hardworking, supportive, caring, funny, charming, but not romantic. Remember this post from Valentine's Day 2 years ago?
Well, it looks like once again we may be making a major purchase around V-day. This time it isn't a vehicle...it's a house. The Prevette family may be moving! We have talked about the desire of having a larger house. The kids outnumber us now and they seem to be taking over every inch of this house. We had a plan in mind to move in the next 2 years or so. The kids are still small enough that we aren't too cramped, but with time that will become an issue. But, one day I was surfing the web and came across a house in our area, just a few miles away, that was in foreclosure and would soon be sold at a public auction. It all happened so fast....We went to the open house last weekend. The house met all the criteria we were wanting in a new house, including a fenced in yard, playroom, garage, and plenty of space. We went through the process of filling out paperwork and getting pre-approved, and then today we bid on it and won! The bidding process was pretty intense. The only thing between us and a new house is the fact that our bid did not meet the bank's reserve price. The bank could (hopefully) decide to take the loss and accept our offer, they could decline or they could counter-offer. Only time will tell.
