Cardboard And Packing Tape

We signed a Pre-Closing possession form today at the house. (That means TOMORROW we start moving in!)
 The house looked so much bigger and more beautiful once it was empty. I CAN NOT wait to start decorating!
     Monday after work i get to bring home the newest addition to our little family, "Suki".
 She's a shepherd mix and about 6 months old. I have waited so long for a dog, It's going to be great!
It all feels extremely surreal .  I may not update for a while, but I will asap once the internet is hooked up at the new house.
Now.....Back to packing!

Waiting game.

So the bank cashed our "earnest money" check..... and now we wait. How long you ask?
Hell if I know. I do hope Its soon. REALTOR SAYS MARCH 11TH!!! YAY!!
I've gotta puppy picked out already and I want to take her HOME and start training her! <3

Leaning Tower Of Chimney.

So the inspector initially said every thing was awesome and that he would buy the house if we didn't. Now that i have the printed inspection form it says the chimney has a 10 degree tilt. Should that be a deal breaker? He didn't mention it as a major concern to us when we asked him for major structural flaws...
 Please tell me what you think!!! Buy or not to buy?

A little research...

So we are expected to close on the house in march or so, and since I am
VERY excited about this I did a little research on this house.
I found the census from 1900 listing our new address and its occupants. NEATO!
George S. & Hattie Cummings lived there in 1900, they had 7 children. He was from New Hampshire, And she was an immigrant  from england. The census also lists his occupation, their children,(living or dead) If they had schooling, if they could read or write and other neat info. I wish I could find a picture of one of the family members! This is something I will continue to work on. Below is a copy of the original census, the family and house is under number 39. (click to enlarge)

Here is the snippett pertaining to the house.

 I Also found this listing in a google book, Charles C. Cummings, as his emergency contact, listed Hattie as his mother, and her address.

  Well thats all for now! I will be sure to  add more if I find it!

WIN!

The realtor told us that the bank accepted our bid!!!
We may have to go sign the final paperwork tonight. I CAN NOT WAIT! Gaahhhhhhhhhhhhh
I am not sure if i will be able to sleep tonight. HAHA.  I can't wait to choose paint colors and rugs, and to land scape the back yard. Who wants to come over and build a cobb fire place with meh?!

I think I may vomit.

The inspector is done and he said its in GREAT shape and to go for it! Though while we were having the inspection done someone put a bid on the house. :(
 *crushed*
I am about to leave now to put our bid in. I HOPE WE GET IT!  Please wish us luck!

Approved!

The loan was approved for the property we are looking at. (WHOOHOO!)

 We have set up a home inspection for monday. He was referred to us by a good friend, I hear he is very good at what he does. Another friend of ours is an electrical specialist and he will be in this week also to inspect all the wiring and such.
