What is wrong with me?!?! Well, considering I slept for most of Friday with this horrible onset of Strep, and Justin let me take it easy today as well, I could not sleep tonight. So after laying in bed for a while tossing and turning and noticing how loud Justin was breathing (so I'm being very sweet by not calling it SNORING)...I decided to get up.
I obviously had some work to catch up on since I mentioned above that I slept MOST OF FRIDAY!!
But we also got an OFFER ON THE HOUSE?!?! Yes, you read that correctly. We got an offer on the house. The first looker wants to be a buyer! Of course they offered LOW and we countered. Our realtor is hoping that we should hear something back tomorrow (or later today now that its officially Sunday).
Justin and I were offered such a great deal that even if they don't meet our counter, we will most likely accept...the deal is a cash offer, no inspection and they want to close on May 14th.
Oh yes..I said May 14th. Like NEXT WEEK May 14th!
So we'd most likely have to do a month of a 'lease-back' b/c Justin has to stay around and work until June 15th when he starts in Victoria.
So now the hunt will begin on a rental property in Victoria. I quite honestly would be fine with a super clean 2 bedroom apartment with a pool for the kids and most allow pets and will go month to month. However, my wonderful husband thinks that moving back into an apartment would be putting us back in our college days and he is absolutely against it. However, I think he doesn't understand how we will struggle to find a rent house that is fairly clean (b/c remember we have the kid with terrible allergies) and will take our dogs and will not cost us an arm and a leg. The idea of paying twice what our mortgage was on a rent house does NOT sit well with me.
So tonight/this morning as I write this post, I have been searching the web for rentals. Found some good hits that I bookmarked to show my wonderful husband tomorrow morning.
I will keep everyone posted on the finality of our house. Keeping fingers crossed all looks good!
And just in case you were wondering why I said I'd be fine with a 2 bedroom apartment when we have a 3 bedroom house...well..remember Wesley migrated to Kate's room when he started climbing out of his crib. Then the crib migrated to Grandma's closet in Schulenburg when we put our house on the market. So I decided to go check on the munchkins earlier b/c I missed them and wanted to make sure they were ok and I had to run back out to get my camera b/c they looked so cute. The room was dark so I couldn't see how Wesley was sleeping. When I snapped the picture I saw how he was situated near his sister....close to her heart as always!
whoo-hoo! I am so excited that you have an offer on the house! and what a great offer, cash and no inspection, awesome!! That is truly a blessing so that you guys can all go to Victoria together and not be separated. I am so happy for you :)
