Patience is Not My Finest Virtue

Well we put an offer in on the house that I spoke of in my previous post. We wrote the offer up last night and Sheela submitted the offer to them last night sometime after Grey's Anatomy. The offer was written to expire by 7pm this evening.

Well 7:30 rolled around and we hadn't heard anything yet. I called Sheela and left her a message. She got back to me a little before 8 and said that they sellers called her and said that they haven't had a chance to look over and talk about the offer yet. They would get around to it tomorrow or Sunday and get back to her with their answer. Which 1 makes me very uneasy, because we have to wait longer for the answer. I know that them selling this house isn't their number one priority as they already have an offer in on the property, yet I don't know if they realize the agony of waiting on the other end. We set a deadline for a reason. So Sheela said at this point we have every right to walk away. The sellers may in the end accept our offer, but we have to rework the offer contract.

UGGGGHHHHHH I am not wanting to wait at all! I am in love with this house! I know I shouldn't have fallen, but those unlucky in love knows that you just cannot help it!

Keep Ya Posted!!!!!

Decisions, Decisions.

Well we found a house that we like. So, begins the flurry of insanity. First things first, the offer currently has an offer on it. The offer has a Bump. What that means that the other buyers (them/they) have a contingency of selling their house, but if another buyer comes along (us/ours) and puts in an offer the sellers can accept ours if they aren't able to (within 72 hours) get their financing settled/change that contingency. They have the option of a double mortgage, obtaining a bridge loan, maybe their house is close to an offer, or just letting the house go. Which is sad for them, but good for us. So we are looking at the house tomorrow with my parents and if we see everything as kosher we will go ahead and try to bump the others out. I know that it sounds pretty mean, but oh well. It is the nicest house that we have seen and we really liked it when we did the drivebys. So if luck is in our favor (or if God is holding the house for us, as my mother-in-law would say) we may have a house!

Tomorrow I will take pictures and I will post them here to show it to you. I will keep you posted. Better than usual too because I am way excited about this and will talk to everyone and anyone about this! I am really anxious about it all!!

Way to Go Bucky

A couple months ago site was sent around to vote for this year's inductees to the mascot hall of fame. There were several pro and college mascots on the ballot, including our very own Buckingham U. Badger. I was curious as to whatever came of that voting. Well today I went to the Mascot Hall of Fame website and found this years inductees.

Bucky will forever be a famous mascot!!

Red Faced

This weekend I had a funny thing happen to me. I went shopping to find a dress to wear to the wedding that we attended. At the store I asked the woman to measure me for a bra. I have been having problems with the fit and comfort of the bras that I currently am wearing. So she measured me and told me that I needed to wear a cup 2-3 sizes bigger than I was currently wearing. I told her I couldn't believe it. She stated "Honey, you have huge knockers, embrace them." I about died! I couldn't believe that she said that! I laughed and laughed all weekend about it.

Yesterday I came to work and had to share the story with some of my close female co-workers. They too thought that it was hilarious and got a good laugh out of it. I was in the lab when another female co-worker came in and I told her the story. She has shared breast related stories with me in the past so I knew that she would get a kick out of it. I told her in front of my close male co-worker, whispering the sizes to her so he wouldn't hear, and they both laughed and laughed and joked about calling me "HK" from now on and had fun with it. Well THIS female co-worker decided to tell EVERYONE male and female in the lab the story. She left out the cup sizes, which was smart, but I didn't want or need everyone to know. So know anyone who works in the lab knows my huge knockers story and I won't be able to live that one down for a while.

Running Around

This week has been a hectic one. We have met with two Realtors this week. We have two good ones we talked to and have to try and decide which one to go with. We really liked both of them. I have an appointment with the bank on Friday to talk about loans and to pre-qualify for a loan. I hope to learn more about the different types of loans available to us and how much house we will be able to afford. This all makes me nervous. This is a big deal! I am making sense out of it all by studying up on it all. I have 2 books that I am reading. One from a co-worker and one that I bought. They are both very helpful so I am feeling better about it all. It will really hit me when we go out on showings. Thinking about it makes my tummy tumble.

We are off to my friend Jen's wedding this weekend. Jen and I have been friends since the third grade. We haven't been that close as of late but I love her to death and I am anxious to meet her husband. The first time I will meet him will be on Friday. We are staying with the outlaws for the rest of the weekend since there house is only 5 miles from the reception hall.

Other than that trying to keep exercising and figuring out if I limp more or less with my knee brace on.
