Awwww, they're so cute now! I would totally get one from you, but we're just not ready yet darn it! I know this is quite shallow but they have exactly the look I'm looking for in a corgi. But you know how it is, once you get a corgi of any color, it automatically becomes the best dog in the world to you. ^_^

New puppy pics, 1 month old now. We are still not sure what to do with them. Sorry for not responding, I have not been on line in a while.

And I would love to get a puppy from Warner's breeder, but I'm not sure what our financial situation will be after we move. It depends on when we can get into the house and have everything settled I guess. Wish us luck when we go look at some houses today! ^_^

Thanks for the congrats everyone. It's still not a sure deal and something could always go wrong in the process but we're really praying!

Congrats Abbea! That's wonderful that you are able to get into a house. We're hoping to get into one soon as well. We too thought about breaking our lease but it would cost us $1,500 as well so we've decided to wait until our lease is up in March. Surely the market won't change much by then.

Thanks for the advice Joleene. I'm really glad to hear that the seller will pay the closing costs. We are only thinking of canceling our lease because it ends December 31st anyway, and it would be too late to get the $8000 tax credit by then. We're looking around the same area we're in now, but probably out west a little more like in El Mirage, or north of 101 possibly. There are some nice houses in El Mirage for very good prices. We'll keep you in mind when we're getting ready for the inspection if our realtor doesn't suggest one.

One question though. Did the house you were in contract with fall through because the inspector found something that devalued the house?

one more thing- also keep in mind that you will have to pay for an inspection out of pocket. that should run you about $300-$350 but that also should include a termite inspection. we have used the same guy 2 times so far- once because we were in contract with a house and it fell thru (of course we weren't able to get our inspection fee returned) and now we are in contract with another house and we used him again. if your realtor doesn't have one of those for you- i can also refer ours. it is such a process!!!! hopefully everything goes smoothly for you guys!

abbea-we are buying a house right now as we speak. we are *supposed* to close on the 23rd.
why are you canceling your lease? secondly- its a buyers market- don't even look at a house if the seller isn't going to pay the closing costs- or at least contribute. we have both a fantastic mortgage banker and realtor if you need help with that. they both have bent over backwards for us. 1 more thing- keep in mind there is a difference between a mortgage BROKER & BANKER. the banker will be able to close and get the loan $ much faster. what part of town are you looking in?

It looks like we're gonna go for buying a house in a few months or so. Hehe it's gonna be stressful, especially since we have to pay a lease cancellation fee of $1,520 two months before we want to leave... And that's in addition to the down payment and closing costs we'd have to pay later as well. Phew, hopefully we found a good realtor and mortgage officer to help us through this. But I can't wait! Once we settle down after the move, and recover our finances, we can definitely get a puppy! :)
