My husband and I were looking for our first house together. He was working in Florida briefly and I went to see a private-sale house. I loved it immediately, although it had sat for over a year unoccupied and had many critters and standing water in the basement. As soon as he came home we went together for the tour. We made a bid immediately, but so did 3 other couples, and ours was not the strongest one. It seemed like the longest month of our lives, but I held my hope that we were the ones who were going to get it. I visited it almost daily, tended the gardens, swept the porches and climbed in the unlocked window to take measurements and clean a little.
Finally, it was ours! Not a surprise really, but we were and still are so happy and grateful to this day.
