Rough Week

It has been a looooong week. Andi woke up from her nap last Sunday with a wicked fever, that kept her up all night, and made her miserable all day. SO I took her to the Dr Monday evening and sure enough tonsillitis . . . again. This would be the fifth time she has had it since January. SO when we go in for her 18 month check up in a few weeks I think I am going to request to have them taken out. Last night was the first night in a week that she slept all night. Thank Goodness!
Anyway, it was also recital week and for the first time in 6 years I went back to help. I was really kinda nervous about it b/c I was sure I'd be all sad that I wasn't dancing. But I wasn't. Maybe it was because Allison and Callie were backstage too and none of the girls I grew up dancing with were still there, but it was a lot of fun.

Well, we are still set to close on our house this friday so I hope nothing comes up this week to throw that off. I'm so excited to get Andi out of my room!

Interesting Day

So the super cute house that we thought we bought last week. . . well we are not getting it after all. We had the home inspection done on it and there were all kinds of electrical, and plumbing issues that needed to be fixed. Not a huge problem, except that the people refused to do any of the $8,000 worth of work that needed to be done, and refused to credit us that money from the price of the house so we could fix it. Their excuse "it's an old house" our response "then sell it like an old house and cut the price." They didn't like that so we cancelled escrow yesterday. Lame.
But we did put in an offer on another house last night. It's a 3 and 2 and about the same size, nice big yard, no pool, but there is a jacuzzi. Here's the weird part, it's 4 houses down from my parents! It's been on the market for a while and we saw the sign everytime we came and went but didn't even look at it because it was so close and we thought it might be weird. And it was pending, but fell out of escrow monday, right when things were falling apart with our house. It all just kinda fell into place. The owners want out quickly because they already have a new house that they were supposed to move into 2 weeks ago, so assuming they accept our offer today(which they probably will) we will still be able to move in the 29th of June. Cross your fingers for us!

The House

So we did it. We bought a house yesterday. And the weird part is neither of us are nervous about it. I mean I know that's a good thing, but at the same time, I think it would be normal to be worried about something this huge.
Anyway the house is super cute, it's 3 beds 2 bath with a pool, and wood floors which I love! We should be able to move in the 29th of June so I'm counting down ;) Here are some pics of the outside.
This is the front of the house.
