Birthdays and boxes

First, Happy Birthday to Mommy…yesterday. We didn’t get around to cake and ice cream, but she got some presents and big hugs! Happy birthday!

The biggest birthday present for Mommy was her new house! Yup, the drama, phone calls, emails, faxes, and worrying are over. Mommy and Daddy signed on the dotted line and were able to get the house. For those that don’t know, we had an accepted offer on a house with a contingency that we sold our house. We were able to find a buyer for our house, and everything was working out great. On 2/28, we were supposed to sell our house at 9:00 am and then buy the other house at 11:00. But, we found out only hours before the closing that the people weren’t going to be able to sell us their house. They had a 3rd mortgage and didn’t have the cash to come to closing and pay off all the creditors to clear all the liens on the house…so the title company was not able to transfer ownership without a clear title. So, we had to go ahead and sell our house and hope, wish, and pray that the other people were able to come up with the cash to clear their liens so we could buy the house. If they didn’t, we would have to start looking elsewhere, which wasn’t a good prospect.

To make a long story short(er), they made the magic happen and we closed yesterday. We trade houses at the end of the month. Come down and see us at our new place! It shouldn’t be hard to find…it is right across the street. That’s right, we’re gunning for the Guinness Book of World’s Records title for shortest move. Our old address is 2411 Lakeshore Ct., our new address is 2416 Lakeshore Ct. Update your address books!
