Second Half of the Weekend Recap

I could post about my entire weekend, but since most of you were part of it, that seems pointless, especially since you all already wrote about it! So I'll start with Saturday night....

Saturday night Kendall and I went to this really fancy charity dinner. It was $150 a plate (we didn't have to pay for it) and every woman there was in a ball gown. I was underdressed in a calf length beaded black dress. I thought I looked pretty fancy until I saw a lady walk by in black satin gloves. Okay, so she was a little overdressed, but seriously, it was ridiculous how dressed up people were. The thing that really bothered me about it was that I had definitely seen some of those dresses in the Juniors section when I had gone out shopping for my own dress. Some of these women were in their 40s. That must sound terrible of me...but really? I get that many of them were much skinnier than my fat-a$$ 16, but that doesn't give you the fashion excuse to shop in the same section as your 15 year old daughter.

Anyways, I digress....It was an auction as well. Both silent and live. I've never been to a live auction before and it was pretty fun. Way to rich for our blood (at least for a couple of years) but still exciting. We sat and talked about how much we would bid and laughed when people got really into it. One man took home almost half of the 30 items up for bidding. It was very generous on his part, but he also got some really cool stuff. The highest winning bid? $10,000. Yeah, it was cool. Everyone clapped after that one. We danced to one song after the bidding and then headed home.

Sunday morning we went to church and snuck out early to come home and get the dogs out for a 10:30 showing of our house. We went shopping at Sams Club and bought an extra controller for our Wii. We realized on Friday that one just wasn't enough. We had Jessica and Aaron over for lunch to celebrate Aaron's new job...that he found out he got while he was at church! He's going to be taking a one year teaching position at Cedarville University with the understanding that if a long term position opens up, he'll get first dibs at it. Pretty cool. We all played the Wii and made a Jessica and Aaron for the game system. Then we realized our Wii has a wireless card in it so we set it up so that our Wii characters could travel to other people's systems. So Karen, Jim, Sarah, Nicole, Kendall, Jessica, Aaron, and I could essentially end up on Wii systems all over the world! How cool is that?!?! And they'd look like us!

After playing our Wii almost all afternoon (very bad for your health)we got a random phone call at about 6:30 from our realtor. He wanted to know if we would be willing to show the house...in 15 minutes! LOL! The prospective buyer said he didn't even care if the house was dirty. Fortunately it was spic and span clean because of the AM showing. So he showed up and we took the dogs for a walk. On our way back, he was still there so we went over and talked and answered some questions for him. The big news....*drum roll*...

He wrote up an offer on the spot with his realtor right outside our house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So he made an official offer and we're going to counter, but it looks like we may have sold our house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The craziest part, he wants to move in the week we move. So there will be a relatively smooth transition. We'll actually close in less than a month, and only have to make one last mortgage payment on our current house. Which would make July mortgage free! HOORAY! Keep those good vibes headed our way and I'll keep you posted on the official "sell". I'll make sure to take a picture of the sold sign! HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
