Third time's the charm?

Today we made our third offer on the third house we have really really liked. We have looked at around 20 homes and in the end, came back to one that always called out to us "take me! Take Me!". Without going into too many details, it's Tuscan orange, built in the 50's, completely remodeled, has a full bath in the garage (this is common down here, from the segregation days several locals have told us- I am not kidding), and it's right near a cool little beach area that we always fish near. It's not that big, but just right. It has a back yard full of oak and tangelo trees and it's a blank canvas (no landscaping). I can rest this weekend knowing we took a chance on the one house we always kept coming back to, after looking at all the newer homes with bells and whistles. Although the garage bath is done in funky 1950's original blue tile - that can be changed later. All we can do now is wait. And hope that if the offer is accepted, that the inspections pass. Also, let's pray that there are no hurricanes blowing this way anytime the next 20 years, we're only about 12 feet about sea level down here. Otherwise, we'll be moving back to PC to live in my parent's garage. My old room with the Bay High sticker on the door and a poster of Australia on the back has long been turned into an office. Well...we're going night fishing today around 7 or so...maybe I'll catch a flounder this time. Happy Friday !
