T and MM's Summer Destination

Since we have sold our house we are currently living with my parents.  You read that correctly...We are living with my parents!  :)  I'm actually loving it because I have tons of help with the babies.  I have three extra people on hand 75% of the time to help me.  I need that help because I'm trying to potty train T.  That's a whole other post though.  We have put another offer on a house but its a short sale so it's gonna take a while to go thru IF it does.  We didn't realize how difficult buying a short sale was gonna be and we have already been very stressed and it's only been a week! I think it will be worth it if we get this house though.  We both love it, T loves it, parents approve, great school systems, etc...  The realtors involved tell us that typically this process takes 60 to 90 days so we will be in the Hill till we pack up and move again.  T couldn't be happier.  He gets to go feed the horsies, ride his Jeep, pushing his dump truck all over the place, ride his bike, dig in the dirt, and play with his cousins all the time.  He does get sad around night time and asks to go home.  Which makes me super sad because he doesn't understand what I'm trying to tell him.  He keeps asking for his Choo Choo table also which is in storage.  We have already gone to the river, ballgames, and swimming so far.  He even got to get inside a  REAL fire truck!!!!  I'm not sure if he will ever want to leave here.  I'll keep updating on the house situation but for now we just wait on the bank to get there big APPROVED OR NOT APPROVED stamp out...I guess!  :)


Sold!

Here's T at his 1st Bday Party!  We had so much fun that day!



I haven't posted in about two weeks because I haven't had time to sit down!  We've been busy as worker bees with packing, driving, packing, driving, and finally signing the papers!  We did it...we sold our house!  We closed on Wednesday and my family has been sweet to keep the kiddos while we were moving or cleaning.  The day before Memorial Day we moved all day took the kids to Mama's and Cookie's put them to bed and then went back to the house and cleaned till 1:30 in the morning.  We cleaned that place from top to bottom.  On the way home we were talking about how sad we were and I made B read my blog.  He never reads it and he got even more sad.  Sadness mixed with happiness because selling was truly a miracle.  It was listed for 74 days total which is AMAZING considering the market along with almost 11 properties in our subdivision that were very similiar.  My daddy did a great job with painting and adding a new light fixture and I think that is what set us apart.  We also kept it super clean when we showed it which was really hard.  Have you met my son?  Seems like there is peanut butter and jelly stickiness on everything I own.  But...It's done! It's bittersweet but I'm very excited about the possibility of a new homes with new memories, new friends, and a fresh start to routines, etc...
