Our New House

The Girls and I took a walk/ride to our new house today. The builder is getting everything ready for our May 1st moving date. The fridge, blinds, and sprinkler system are in place.

The Backyard

We are excited but packing is getting a bit overwhelming for dear old Mom.

30 Day Lock

Life is getting crazy around this old house. The Girls and I are within 30 days of moving. I was able to lock in my interest rate today at 4.99% 30 year fixed mortgage. I'm averaging 2-3 boxes per day of packing. At this rate, we'll be ready in 30 year.

Life is going to get more crazy......

Passed Inspection

The condo passed inspection with flying colors. The new owners are not asking me to fix a thing. This is a relief too me since I hate fixing things around the house. I've started packing. Two boxes down and many more to go.

A thought to sold.....

Last Friday, I sent an e-mail to my wonderful real estate agent, Angel about what my condo is worth and the possibility of moving to a four bedroom home. She got back with me and I told her I needed to think about it.

Saturday while driving home, Angel called and asked if she could show my condo to her clients just in case I decided to sell. I had two minutes to pick up the house (a lot of stuff can fit into the oven). The couple looked at the condo for about 5 minutes and out the door. My thoughts, "that was nice"

Saturday evening, Angel calls to inform me that they LOVE my condo and will think about it over the weekend.

Well, yesterday......SOLD for fair market value......GREAT!!!!!!

I'm homeless.....until I found....

Our new home about two miles away in the newer subdivision with clubhouse, two pools, hot tub, fitness center, park, etc.....

I have a brand new 4 bedroom all with walk in closets, 2 1/2 baths, 2261 square feet, small backyard (just enough mowing). This house is GREAT!!!! and the best part.....I got a killer of a deal because of Angel and I had already purchased my condo through the same builder.

We all close on April 29th and moving day is Saturday May 1st. This also means I qualify for the $6,500 tax credit.

Does this seem possible in todays market? Selling without even listing and one showing.

Pinch me because I think I'm dreaming.

Well Baby Checks

Yesterday, The Girls and I went to the pediatrician for their 4 year and one year well baby checks. Here are there stats:

Charlee:
Weight 30 lbs (finally)----5th percentile
Height 38 1/2 inches-----25th percentile
Healthy and happy. Charlee was happy because she didn't need any immunizations.

Natalee:
Weight 22 lbs 2 oz-------70th percentile
Lenght 29 inches--------55th percentile
Head 18 inches----------55th percentlie
Healthy and happy except for bilateral ear infections (this baby is always happy, never crys, tugs on ears, or runs a fever). I'm blessed. She also received two immunizations.

Our visit was 1 1/2 hours long but with these results, it's worth it.

Happy Birthday!!!!!!
