WOO-HOO!!!!!

We've got a house!

After playing the countering game a couple of times the sellers finally agreed to the price we gave them.

Kolin and I are so excited. The kids know, but aren't too excited at this point. As the boxes get packed and the closing date gets closer I know the excitement from all of us will be a tad overwhelming.

Now we wait.....

Today we walked through the house we really like (again) and made an offer. An actual offer.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!

Now we wait for the counter offer and play that game.

Happy Easter!!!!

Kolin, there are grave markers in the yard!

Kolin, Karis and I went and toured a house this morning. As soon as I pulled up and parked at the curb I noticed the above grave markers. I just started shaking my head. I asked Kolin to go check them out. I was 'hoping' that they would be Fred the cat and Barney the dog.....but No.

These grave markers are real. They actually have names, death dates, etc on them. They are OLD......1800's OLD. However, the realtor has no clue what was up with them and after talking to the owner later that day he still doesn't really have any answers. Supposedly the markers have been there for quite some time and no new owners of the house have ever removed them. I don't know about anyone else, but I definitely wouldn't be able to sleep in the house with grave markers in my yard......

We're going to attempt

to leave town today. The kids have bowling this morning and then Kolin and I are meeting with the realtor to check out a couple of houses. If all goes well we'll be on the road before 3pm.

**Crossing my fingers**

So Cool....

She's gotta wear shades!

Not so fun spring break...thus far anyway

I've only left the house for 1 hour since Sunday night. I'm going stir crazy and the kids are too.

Karis picked up some type of nasty stomach bug....she's recovering and I'm hoping no one else gets it. Brennan and Karis have pink eye...Having never dealt with pink eye before I've got to say I hope we never do again.

We have plans to go out of town this weekend. The hotel room is booked and the kids are super excited. I'm just hoping that everyone feels great and we don't have to cancel our plans.
