Raindrops

We were at my grandma's house for the garage sale Friday and decided to play in the rain for a bit. Avery LOVED it!

House hunting update

My realtor called me this morning and told me the seller came back with only a thousand dollars less than the listing price. The house isn't worth that much, so we are still looking for our new home.

Ten on Tuesday

-We made an offer on a house! It's actually the house that we ruled out before, but the seller dropped the price. We are meeting at the realtor's house later today to sign a contract. I'm not anticipating that they will take our initial offer, but I'm anxious to see what they come back at. I hope we hear from our realtor as soon as possible after the contract is signed!

-I went shopping yesterday with my cousin and hit up Target's clearance section. I got Avery two summer dresses and a sweater for 3.50 each, a shirt for 1.25 and a fall coat for 9.00. I'm pretty excited about it!

-I need to catch up on laundry sooo bad!!

-We are going to start ttc NEXT month! I can't believe that I could possibly be pregnant next month. Eek!

-Today is my husband & I's 3rd wedding anniversary. We are doing dinner and a movie tonight and then going away for an over nighter the first weekend of June to celebrate. It will be my first night away from Avery. I'll let you know if I survive :)

-Last night was night 3 of transitioning Avery to her crib in her room. The first night was a fail, the second night was a semi fail, and last night she did it! She is taking a nap in there as we speak and has woken up a few times already, but gone right back to sleep.

-No more formula! Avery is on all organic whole milk now. She still has it in a bottle, but we'll be working on eliminating that.

-My dad just called and the realtor told him that he is pretty positive that the sellers will not accept our offer. He is also convinced that they will be firm at the listing price. If that is the case, the search is still on. We will still officialy put the offer in today, but it will be what it will be. I trust God's plan for us.

-I'm starting to take daily walks with Avery. She loves being outside and this mama can sure use the exercise!

-We are having a garage sale this weekend and I'm hoping to get rid of a lot of our stuff we don't need. It's going to be at my grandma's house and she will be selling stuff too Hopefully a good amount of people show up.

On to the next

Well, It's not going to work out with that house. It needs a lot more work than we thought, and it is highly priced as it is. We have another appointment on Thursday afternoon to see another house. It's quite expensive, but we have heard that it may be move in ready with no work involved. We'll see if It's THE ONE!

On another note, I will have Avery's birthday party post up hopefully tomorrow. Just a warning: It's going to be very picture heavy!

House hunting

We are going to look at another house today. We've ruled out one of the two other ones that we looked at. I hope we like this one! It's in a good area of town and has a decent sized back yard for Avery to play in. I have seen a few pictures online of the inside and it looks like it needs some updating. We don't mind doing cosmetic work, just as long as the " bones" of the house are good. Hopefully it's something we can see as our future HOME!
