There is so much going on right now in our lives.  Not that I’m complaining cause a lot of it is very positive, but as I told a group of parents last night, even positive events can cause stress.

We found out yesterday that we have a provisional exchange date of May 14 (or at least within a day or so of that).  And then we also found out that the people buying it are a father & son combo.  The dad is going to be re-mortgaging his house instead of getting a new mortgage, which should be easier.  So we may actually be finishing everything up within one month!  That’s great news.  It also means we can seriously think about putting in an offer quite soon.

We went to see a mortgage broker yesterday.  My job pays for it so it made sense to use his services.  And it went well.  With our good credit rating (good thing I’ve lived here for a bunch of years), our salaries and what we’ll have to put down, we’re in good position for getting the mortgage we want and a decent one at that.

We have decided that we want to see the first house we viewed again.  We really think it’s a good value for the money and, in fact, they just brought the price down £10,000, so it’s even more in our range.  Which is fantastic.  Now we just have to hope that it doesn’t sell before we can get to it!

I went to see a doctor today.  We’re starting to check into our fertility.  We haven’t been using birth control for over a year and really trying for six months…so it was time to get things checked out.  I’m going to have to make an appointment for blood work and an ultrasound, while Roy gets to get his swimmers checked.  Joy.  Not so much.

So there’s tons going on.  Lots good, lots stressful.  But it’s moving us in a direction which we want…a house, a garden/yard and possibly a baby.  Fingers crossed that it all works out!
