it's not a BFP

But it's pretty darn awesome if I do say so myself.

I know you thought this would never ever happen, but Mr. and Mrs. Misfit are officially under contract on a house!!! Mr. Misfit doesn't even know because he just went for a run (yes, we keep odd hours - I have a cake cooling for my book club on Thursday. What? It's not like we have kids getting up at 6AM) and I just got the email from our agent.

It is a short sale, so the sale still has to be approved by the bank, but we offered full list (with just a smidge of closing costs) so I think that will probably happen (though not necessarily soon). We probably won't move for a couple of months, but I am going to start packing and clearing out the shed (and perhaps shopping for furniture?) immediately.

Here is our baby:


I have to admit, I had (and probably still have) mixed feelings about this particular house, but right now I am ecstatic. I often feel that exciting life developments are something that happens to other people (you know, people who can have kids), but I guess sometimes they happen to me too :).
