The Calm Before the Storm

It sure has been a while. I have been really busy and it is getting warmer and warmer upstairs where the computer is so I am not as excited about spending time online, although I have missed hearing from people.

Yesterday was the BIG DAY. We met with the title company and the sellers and we now own a house--woohoo! Annelise was flirting with the Title Company man ( I don't know what else to call him). I have never seen her do that before. She was staring at him and flashing huge smiles at him while raising her shoulders and pulling up the front of her onsie/dress. He was trying really hard to pay attention to what he was supposed to be doing and I was trying really hard not to laugh, although a few giggles escaped anyway. After I had signed the first round that included me, I took her out to (you guessed it) walk walk walk walk walk walk walk...and walk some more. After about 20 minutes, the seller left and I took Annelise back in where she sat quietly on the floor distroying a magazine and eating Goldfish. The meeting went smoothly for the most part and now we just need to finish packing and move. We are very excited.

The seller moves out on Wednesday, June 13th. We plan to remove the wallpaper and paint on the 14th & 15th. We have reserved a Budget truck that we will pick up Friday and return Saturday. My parents will be joining us to help us move. I am so thankful for them. It would be so hard to move it all by ourselves while taking care of Annelise.

So that is the plan. We are very excited about our new place. Removing the wallpaper is what I am dreading the most, but it will be so nice when it is finished. *sigh*

If you want to look at more pictures of the house, they are in the photo album at the top of the blue column. I have not added any new ones. If you want to see the house in person, just let us know. We'd love to have you over.
