House Stuff & Birthday
Wow... things have been hopping! Last Friday (July 23rd), I mentioned that we were going to go look at 4 homes. The last home was "it!" We fell in love with everything about the house (except the built-in microwave which looked like one of the first ones made...ha!). We went back Saturday morning (in the pouring rain) to take a more thorough lookover. Our realitor came over Saturday afternoon to start the paperwork to make an offer on the house. We heard back from him late Sunday night that they had made a counter-offer and we got the official paperwork on that Monday afternoon. We thought about it overnight, and accepted it on Tuesday (July 27th). So, our realitor was over at our house again last night doing more paperwork for the sale of our house which will officially go on the market on Monday, August 2nd.
Whew... It's been exhausting so far... So much to do to get ready... My wife is about to go insane (ha!)... She's getting overly stressed about the situation (cleaning, clearing out clutter, etc. etc.) and I'm trying to get the vinyl siding cleaned off, minor repairs done, etc. etc. etc. One big problem we have right now is .... can anybody guess? The dog.... again. I really don't want the dog barking wildly when people come to look at the house. Plus, she's made a "run" in the yard, so that the grass has been killed... Anybody want a dog? I think we're going to try to see if someone can care for the dog for awhile so that we can reseed the yard and get it looking okay again...
If you are of the praying type, please pray that a good buyer comes along soon to buy our house, and that the closing date works for them also. The people we're buying from, they are building a new house and can't move out until the end of October, so our closing date is Oct. 29th. Therefore, the buyers of our house can't move in until after that date as well... So we're hoping for finding someone that is a renter that can wait until then to move in (our house is just right for a first time home buyer).
Also, today is my maternal grandmother's birthday. I'm not exactly sure how old she is (I will find out tonight - I know she's in the low 90's), and we're throwing a little birthday party for her tonight.
Blessings!
