Still waiting for final confirmation....

I honestly don't know why our realtor insists on putting in a contract deadline of less than 24hours when that makes it difficult to get an answer back by the deadline.  So, we thought we would hear by 5pm today whether or not the developer would accept our offer.  Well, the seller's agent can't pin him down until tomorrow morning, so we are still waiting to officially become homeowners.  Technically, since we didn't hear back by the stipulated deadline, we wouldn't actually be on the hook if he accepted and for some reason or another we had a change of heart. 

I guess I will have to save my jumping up and down for joy until tomorrow.... 

We plan on spending this weekend "playing" at Home Depot learnings about paint, granite, and fixtures.  How quickly things have shifted gears from "home shopping" to "shopping for the home".
