prayers are answered!

Just to update everyone!!

We got the home!! Finally!!

In November we found a perfect home for our family. Mother included. Enough room for the boys to play downstairs with 5 bedrooms, two storage rooms, and a CRAFT room!!! We put down and offer and it was excepted. It was in a short sale so we were getting it a fantastic price.
Meanwhile the paperwork was underway at the bank. Two days before we were supposed to close we finally got the appraisal. The appraisal was 8 thousand less than what we offered. The sellers agent through a fit and low and behold the appraiser admitted a mistake on the appraisal. Not sure now if it even was a mistake. The bank graciously considered the mistake for WEEKS and I mean WEEKS. Finally the answer was given after several extensions, addendum and stress the bank said "sorry, we are accepting the original appraisal price." We put in an addendum to have the offer at the lower price and hoped and prayed that it would be excepted so we could close! The seller accepted late Friday afternoon!! The bank is now getting all the paperwork ready for closing by FRIDAY!! So not only did we get the home we wanted but 8,000 dollars cheaper than the offer! God was watching out for us!!!

We will be moving QUICK this weekend into our new home!! So excited!!

Now to just get my mom here. :)

let go and let

GOD!!!

I REALLY need to learn how to do that better.

We still have not closed on the home. We are still playing the whole bank vs. buyer game. Its a game I really hope not to loose but at this point its hard not to think that.

Keep praying warriors and I will post if/when I ever find anything out.

prep

Since we are moving (still praying that it actually happens) we needed to touch up the wall that got scrapped from our garbage can. Two of my walls in my kitchen are brown and those are the only ones we are touching up. We got the paint yesterday (brown) and all the tools we needed and today me and Bug started prepping. Which mean lots of taping. Today I discovered that Bug is a Fantastic taper!! Saved me sooo much time. He got on the counters and did all the high stuff and I did all the lower taping! ( I have a heights issue) Here he is helping out. He looks pretty dejected in these photos, not because I am making him help ( he offered) but because I took out my camera to document it.

Hope he is as good at painting as he is at frowning!

Layout number 8 and the LAST

Phew, bet you guys are done with this!!! At least I am posting. Or pre-posting or whatever.

This layout is of my friend/secretary Darla's office lunch. We always close the office on our birthdays and head to heaven on a plate for some fun! Darla chose Garcia's on this birthday and got stuck wearing the dreaded sombrero. Ew. How many germs exactly????

Layout number 7

I have never been one to like scrapping holidays. Especially Halloween butI really like how this one turned out!! Still need to journal!! lol

Layout number 6
