On Friday the kids were only in school for a half day. It felt like the longest half day of my life! For some reason I couldn't wait for them to get out of there! I went out to lunch with my friend Amy and then spent the afternoon farting around waiting for 3 pm so I could go home! When I got home, Kendall and I made meatloaf and cheesy potatoes for the Eutslers. We ate until we were going to burst and then busted out the cards to play Shanghai. I tried playing the same game the weekend before at their house and almost started crying by the third round. I totally didn't get it. But this time, I did! So much so that we taught it to Jessica and Aaron today after lunch! We had brownies and ice cream and a GREAT time. Jim and I were having a great time making Karen mad. He kept "feeding me" cards during the game. It was GREAT! Did I mention how great of a time we had?
On Saturday we cleaned the house up a little bit and then headed out so that a realtor could show our house. The idiot set off our alarm somehow and we had to come home to make sure the police didn't show up! We got to meet the couple looking at the house and Kendall answered some questions for them. We haven't heard about an offer, so I don't think they're that interested yet. We finished the evening when we headed up to Troy to have dinner with Dathan and Natalie.
Today we worked the nursery at church (7 babies, only 2 people= exhausting!) and then had lunch at Jessica and Aaron's while someone else was supposed to be looking at our house. We don't think they ever showed, which is REALLY annoying. Then we went and bought mulch and did the front yard, it looks really nice. We cleaned up the back yard a bit and are now getting ready to reheat our leftovers from last night's dinner. OYE!
Thanks goodness only one week until we're on vacation!
Oh.....I almost forgot to mention......We bought a house this weekend!!!!!!!!!
Must have slipped my mind.....HAHAHA!!! We sealed the deal and will soon be the proud owners of 1835 Thornwood Court. We close June 7th and take possession June 11th. We're gambling that our house will sell by then. But we have the money to pay two mortgages. The only two things that would prevent us from buying it would be if we didn't get our loan approved (I've been assured we'll have no problems) and if something went horribly wrong with the home inspections.
I'm going to head up there and take some pictures of the inside in a week or two and I'll be sure to post them. We're really excited, obviously. It comes with a HOT TUB! WooooHoooo! We're going to throw Kendall's graduation party up there, so I'll let you know when it is. Here's a picture of the front of the house.

Damn. NICE HOUSE. Congratulations.
How many times will a realtor set off your alarms? Hasn't this already happened?
Congrats on the new home! It looks beautiful! May it be filled with health and happiness.
Congrats! :)
seriously, Jim working with you was irratating me. there's no way he'd feed me the way he fed you. Again, goes to show that the two of you should have met in college - i might have married Kendall! :) Go KE2!
CONGRATS again on the house - that's awesome!
The house looks amazing!! Can't wait to see pictures of the inside!
congrats lisa!!! it looks gorgeous! cant wait to see the inside :-)
That is fantastic news!! A new house is so much fun!
I do want to caution you about selling, I have heard many statistics and most of them say that you get 1 offer for every 20 people you have go through your house. Lucky for you, you are selling during the high buy season!! Good luck!
Beautiful house. Can't wait to see more pics.
