We did shop around a bit, but we settled on USAA. They offered one of the lowest rates and because they work for the military, we feel we are in good hands. We've financed things through them before and they worked out very well for us.
We already know the problems with an adjustable rate mortgage, because it was a problem for my parents on the last house that they owned. Because of that, I would never do it.
Lance has done all the research and has a pretty good handle on this. I have a fairly big learning curve, but I'm starting to understand this process much better.
Are you on Yahoo messenger? That's the only way I chat online right now, but we could always try the LJ Talk thing. If I can figure out how it works. ;)
And of course, I will keep posting about the house stuff. We take our house hunting trip in 3 weeks, so this will be happening very quickly.

Again... thrilled!
