Is it possible for a bank to hurry?

So we got everything squared away with the house. We got our acceptance and we filed our paperwork for our loan. They told Ben it will probably be about 4 weeks. That puts it around the 18th-21st of June. Somewhere in there.... things are moving along and we are getting really excited!!! We gave our thirty days notice and need to be out by June 12th. What are the chances of the bank actually processing our loan faster than they said? Yeah, that's what I thought, too... slim to none! Oh well, my parents said we could invade their house in the lapsing period. I have such a great family. They are always there for me. It's been nice that they are all so excited for us. And just so they all know, Liz and mom volunteered to have a painting party before we move in. Everyone is free to join us :)

We've made a decision!

We heard from the bank today and they gave us a counter offer that we felt like we could accept. After praying about it, we still have a good feeling about this first house. We've looked at other ones and just keep coming back to this one. With this house, we feel like we'll have more freedom to do the things we want to do. We won't be house poor! For us, that is a huge thing. We don't want to get in over our heads on our first home. We want to be able to enjoy being a home owner and when the time is right, we'll sell and either build or buy a different one. Thanks for all the prayers. We feel like we have really been blessed. The bank said they would ok everything in the next 3-5 business days so sometime next week this should all be official!
