Elin Kisses

Elin has been giving momma kisses for awhile, but today was special. After she woke this morning, her and I were playing in bed. Daddy walked over and she put her arms out for him. Anders picked her up and I said, "Elin, give daddy a kiss." She looked at me, I said it again and then she gave him a kiss.
It was so cute and to know that she knows who daddy is and what a kiss is, is so awesome. She's learning more and more everyday, and I just love this little booger.

Inspections

Both inspections are done. They are a few things we will be asking the seller to fix, give money at closing for them, or lower the selling price.
There were a few minor things that showed up on our house, but we expected them. Now we have to wait to see what they want us to fix. This is such a fast process.

We BOUGHT a house!

We went looking at 5 houses today. One of which we had seen twice before. It was the house Anders found riding his bike. This house had been on the market since May of last year. We couldn't believe it was still for sale. We fell in love with the property first. Even most of Anders' family has seen the house. The house needs some cosmetic changes, ie paint, new carpet, new kitchen countertops. but it's a great house.
Every house we went into we compared it to this house.
We decided this was our forever house! We put an offer in the next morning, because it was Friday the 13th. The seller accepted our offer the same day, within hours.
In 48 hours we accepted a contract on our house and got an accepted contract on the house we wanted. The best part, we will be able to move in before we give possession up of this house. Only God could have made this timing work. He is so good!
Now I need to get packing!

We sold our HOUSE!

We woke up early today because we needed to get the house ready for 2 showings today. I hate this process of cleaning the house for hours when someone might spend 30 minutes in here. Anders looked realy frustrated and I asked him why. He said, "I'm just sick of this, we should just take the house off the market - it'll never sell."
Well I kinda agreed with him, but we still needed to finish up for the showings today. I prayed out loud to God while cleaning. "Please let this be the last time I have to clean my house for a showing."
Well I got downstairs and about the time I was praying, Tony our realtor had called me. We had an offer coming from a showing while we are on vacation. Yes vacation, when the house wasn't clean. The offer wasn't bad but still a little low. They really needed a house, were on a tight schedule and lived out of state. We decided to counter. By the next day we accepted their counter. Now we only had 30 days to move out. We had no idea where we were going to go, but rather sell the house now, than to be stuck with it for another year.
