Waiting Game Continued...

UPDATE:
I just heard back that the bank took the other offer. I should have known that it was too nice of a house for the price. I thought buying a house was supposed to be exciting and fun, not depressing. From here on out I can't get attached until we know that it's a sure thing. The next post I make about anything to do with the house will be that we are signing closing papers.

Original Post:
We are still playing the waiting game with the house. I think I'm going to go crazy! We submitted an offer on house #1 about three weeks ago. It took a week or two to hear back from the bank that they accepted our offer. Since then we haven't heard anything. Is it happening- is it not? Who knows! House #2 was way too expensive for us, so we gave a low bid in hopes that they would come down. We wanted this house over house #1. The bank came back with an offer that was only $650 less than their original price. So, scratch house #2 and we were happy we were accepted for house #1... but we haven't heard anything from them about a closing date.  In the meantime, house #3 comes up. It was listed less than 24 hours when we went to see it. We walked in the front door and I knew it was ours. I know it's silly to want a house so bad, but I can see our future there. We put an offer for asking price on it that night. The selling Realtor said everything looked great and we should hear back in 24 hours. We drove by it yesterday and saw another couple looking at it. I so wanted to jump out of the car and shoo them away! Last night was the 24 hours and we hadn't heard anything. This morning our Realtor called and said that they had another offer come in after ours that was competitive, so they were giving us another shot to give our "best" offer. Well, we had given our "best" offer to begin with. We upped the offer price a tiny bit in hopes that the other people come in lower than us. In the meanwhile I am a nervous wreck. It would probably be good if I was at work today so that I wouldn't sit and stew about it, but Bryn, and Emmy, and I are all sick. So, I'm sitting here at my computer drinking a diet coke, eating potato chips with leftover Superbowl dip, and chocolate... in other words, I'm "emotionally eating". Please let this end soon!!!
