We broke the news of our house bid to the family during a Memorial Day cookout during that extended weekend.
It came out of the blue for most of the family, especially since we had previously hinted at next summer for the big move. The news was well received, and we spent most of the cookout describing the house, the neighborhood and how we may not get it. The entire family formed a phone tree so we could spread the news as soon as we knew the next day.
Perhaps the most useful of the conversations that day was with Brad's uncle, who buys and rents out nice homes. He gave us advice on what to fix, and what will bring us the most bang for our buck when we decide to sell it.
Brad's parents were perhaps the most excited. Buying a house brings them one step closer to grandparenthood.
They all assured us we would win the bid, and as we left as I was even more excited and nervous about the bid.
