House or No House

Shortly after our offer went in, we found out that we were in a multiple offer. A total buzz kill considering EVERY house we have bidded on we have been in a multiple offer- so much for a slowed housing market. Anyhow, so we had to come back with our highest and best. ugh! It was to be in by 6PM. So we toiled over the price and all that good stuff and got it in on time. The other people also came in with their highest and best which was apparently better than ours- but they did not meet the deadline therefore we won!! HOOOOOOORRAAAAAAAY!! So now on with the inspections and all the fun details. We are scheduled to close at the end of the month. Looks like we will have a Labor Day weekend moving extravaganza!
We will fill you in with more details as things come together. To celebrate G went to Costco and got his new MAdden game with no one other than Farve in a Packers uniform. Luckily the Wii isn't set up yet so I still get to watch the Olympics. GO USA!

Sun"asse$"


So it seems that K has taken a liking to sunglasses lately...or in her terms her sun"asse$".
Other news in relocation world: We had an accepted offer on a house, but after the inspection results, it proved to be too much for us. We might as well have taken the house back down to the studs and started over. Not a good situation for us. So we went out Saturday to drive in some different towns we hadn't explored yet. One was too far north, the other was waaaaaaaaaaaayyyy too expensive. After about 3 hours we decided it was too nice outside to be stuck in the car. So we used our GPS to find us a nearby park. G and I could get out and stretch and K could run and play on the big playground. As G and I looked around we were like "You know we really like this subdivision-doubt there is anything in our price range". We pretty much left it at that. Then as we were leaving we drove past a house with a for sale sign and flier. I called the number and it turns out that the house was right in our price range. FAB-U-LOUS! The next day we went back with our Realtor and really like the inside floor plan. So we put in an offer and we are crossing our fingers this one works out for us! Hopefully we'll know by the end of the week.
We are going to try to take in the nice weather the next couple of days. 76 degrees today! 78 tomorrow! I love it!
