Progress

Ok, so it's not much, but I've been working a little each day during nap time and after Logan goes to bed.  I don't think I've ever clicked "cut" and "paste" so many times in my life, but here's the update on the summer goals list:


1.  Decorate and transition Logan to his big boy bedroom.  Prepare the nursery for the new baby, who has yet to be named (maybe this should be a goal, too?).
2.  Organize all of my photos on the computer by date and holiday.  Upload pictures to Shutterfly and videos to YouTube.
3.  De-clutter the entire house (we did this last year when we put our house on the market, but we have managed to accumulate just as much new clutter as what we packed away last April).
4.  Clean out my closet and make some space for Todd's clothes so Todd can clean out his closet and we can give Logan some space in his new closet.


I'm feeling good :)

I want this house!

We went today to look at what feels like the hundredth house we've seen. Going in we knew it was going to be nice because the listing says it's been completely re-done. What we didn't expect was to COMPLETELY FALL IN LOVE. I LOVE LOVE LOVE and WANT WANT WANT this house. It's absolutely perfect and has everything we want (except a pool, which I will totally be willing to sacrifice for this house). See it here. Only two problems...

Problem #1...Our house is not sold, nor does it seem like it will be any time soon :( We've had four showings in two months and no one seemed even remotely interested. Throughout this whole process I've been saying that things will happen the way they are meant to, that we will get the house that is supposed to be ours, and that everything will eventually fall into place. I was convinced that was going to happen for us this week when we heard about a couple that wanted to come see our house but had to meet with their lender first. Well...they met with them on Tuesday and we haven't heard back. Boo!

Problem #2...This house that we LOVE LOVE LOVE and WANT WANT WANT is having an open house this Sunday. I'm convinced it will sell on Sunday and slip out from under us. If that happens, I WILL cry. We are planning to go to the open house, toward the end, and ask the listing agent a number of questions about the people that come through. I don't care if it's pathetic or not. I want this house! We are itching to put a contingency offer on it, but the sellers don't want to do that just yet because the listing is so new. My hope? They get no bites from the open house and change their minds, freeing us up to put in that contingency offer. Then, our house gets an offer in the next few weeks and everything works out! Ha, right.

If you don't mind, keep your fingers crossed for us. If you pray, please pray for us. We will gladly return the favor in the future!
