too low, too slow or just right?

holy crap! we took a big leap yesterday & made an offer on a house. YIKES! it's cute, only mildly f'd up & it's C-H-E-A-P. exciting, nerve-wracking. the waiting around to hear something is annoying. of course we decide to do this on a long holiday weekend... oh well. though this place has some issues & i'm not quite sure how we would make it all work out well, i feel MUCH better about this place than the one we discussed in detail earlier this week. that one was insane - 3 story 4-bdrm house w/ a slate roof, driveway, garage,big deck and 16000 foot lot with it's own private forest. it was a bit nuts. but we could afford it. & i was really pumped about the great deck, little stone patio & potential for a mini-farm, it took a while to let it go. but it was completely out of my comfort level (project scale & price) & i didn't care for the house.

i'm a little worried about the floor plan of our possible future home cuz the basement & 1st floor stairs are in completely different, almost equally bad locations. i'd wanna fix that but i can't figure out a better configuration. makes me a little nervous that there's no good solution. i'm not sure if we'd be lucky to get it or not. but i know dan would be extatic because he's been on the verge of exploding with excitement for days. when i wasn't 100% sure sure about making an offer on the spot, i was mildly afraid for my life. he made some threats. but i admit sometimes i need some prodding/death threats to acccelerate my decision making, not to mention the 2 other couples that came by to see the place while we were there. cheap = popular, i suppose. we also met one of the neighbors who was older, nice & nerdy - i think we'd all get along just fine. he'd like us better than the hipster couple, right? stay tuned...
