It happened!

Wow! So much to talk about...where to begin?! It actually happened...someone put an offer on our house, we went back and forth once or twice and the offer has been excepted by both sides! I am an emotional wreck!! This pregnancy isn't helping with the emotional roller coaster! I had really decided in my head that we were not going to sell before Baby Leex2 arrived and in my head figured we would stay in our little house for another two years or so and put the house back on the market in Spring 2010. On Thursday night after a wonderful night with my parents our realtor called and started talking to Bob...Dad said you got an offer...I didn't believe him, how could that be true?! Sure enough when Bob got off the phone he said the same thing and we were both somewhat in shock!! (A little background...the people that put the offer on our house had 'fallen' off the face of the earth for over a month! They came and saw the house twice and asked for our utility bills...but our realtor left many messages and we never got any responses back from them.) Friday is when the deal was agreed upon verbally, now it is Saturday and we signed papers with our realtor. The scariest part is....they want closing and settlement on August 28! We bumped it up to August 22nd to correspond with Bob's work schedule b/c the buys did say the sooner the better. YICKES! This whole house needs to be cleaned up and put away by then...not to mention I am 29ish weeks pregnant, I start school around August 26th (I think), and we are putting most of our stuff in storage b/c we have no where to move and take it all! That brings us to the next step...we will be moving in with my parents, which GOD bless them...to allow Bob, Morgan, Baby Leex2, and me to move in with them...they must be crazy...but they have everything and we don't need to bring anything...but what if we do need something of ours that is of course stored in some big holding bin marked box 307? {EMOTIONS running wild, can you tell?} So now we wait...kind of! The buyers have 12 days to get all their inspections done of the house and if all goes well then our house will be officially sold. In the meantime we need to find a moving company, figure out what needs to go to my parents, what can be stored, and everything needs to be in boxes...with Morgan running around! This should be very interesting!!! I feel some tiresome days coming up for me! When I think about the whole thing I well up with tears...this is the first house Bob and I ever owned together, decorated it together, brought our first Baby (Lacey-our springer spaniel) home here, conceived Morgan here, brought another dog into our lives, brought Morgan home to this house, had many parties here with such fond memories...the list goes on...but as Bob keeps telling me, "We bought this house only as a starter home." Wiping the tears away...it is still hard to think about moving and really starting over in a new neighborhood, in a new house...although it is exciting to think of the possibilities! That is enough emotional blah from me.

Went to my cousin's baby shower today on my Dad's side. We had a good time! Laura knows she is having a boy, so she got lots of blue things!! She got some great presents! Such tiny clothes...how easily you forget! It was a good stress relief to just go and relax...with Morgan climbing all over me like she was a monkey and I was her tree...her newest phase...let's climb on EVERYTHING...especially Momma if she is available!
