So hard to wait

So, we made an offer on another house this weekend (different than the short sale we have been waiting on for four months). We have been countering back and forth for the last three days. We're getting pretty close now...and today I sit by my cell phone, waiting to find out if we have a house, or if they rejected our offer! I'm so nervous. As each minute passes, that pit in my stomach gets more and more noticeable. We both are really excited about this house now and we've heard there is another offer. It's very nerve wracking. But, I guess all I can do is wait and hope that all goes well. We'll keep you posted.
