My favorite part...the kitchen!!!

So we've had ALOT going on in our lives lately. This is the house that we are making an offer on. We looked at it on Monday night and fell in love with it right away. We tried not to let our emotions get the best of us so we said we wanted to hold off on making an offer. After a few days of going back and forth and deciding we couldn't afford it but we could if we made some adjustments, we decided to make an offer. This house is amazing and it is exactly what Dave and I want and it would be awesome for Madi. We may not know for a week if our offer has been accepted or not because the house is bank-owned. But, things are looking up for us and if all goes well, we should be out of our house and hopefully in this house by the end of October!!! I am so excited and I'm already planning how I will decorate it:) We are headed out to Wyoming on Saturday for a week long vacation. I think this vacation is going to be great for us; we've been really stressed out lately with all the house stuff.

The House Saga Continues...

Well, we've had our house for sale for over a year now and it's been a LONG, frustrating process to say the least. We've finally had some "movement" so we're excited but also don't want to get our hopes up too much. Here's the story...after a over a year of having our house on the market someone has made an offer on it...for the full asking price!!! Like I said, we're excited, but there's more to the story as there always is:) A single, retired, Green Bay firefighter came to look at our house a couple weeks ago and really liked it. It's close to his brother's house, has a HUGE garage and my decorating touches, what's not to love right! Well, all is well and good except he just got divorced and has a house to sell in Florida so half of his money goes to his ex-wife and with his half he has to pay half of their mortgage so there's not alot of money left over. So now it's a waiting game again, waiting for him to sell his house in Florida or for someone to give him financing for our house even with his house in Florida. We had a call from our realtor and she said it's looking hopeful for him getting financing for BOTH houses which is great for us and we could close on our house as soon as the end of September. So, please keep us in your prayers, we need all the help we can get! I'll keep everyone posted as the saga continues.

Our 3rd Anniversary!

Dave and I on our 3rd Anniversary-July 30, 2008

Dave and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary on July 30th. We had dinner at a great Mexican restaurant (by ourselves!!!), "Margaritas," where I enjoyed a grande margarita:) It's hard to believe that 3 years have gone by already but I love Dave more and more everyday. Happy Anniversary to us and here's to MANY more anniversaries to come!

Daddy and Madi's Adventures

Sick of waiting to get to Bay Beach...Mommy had too many errands for us to run!
Daddy and Madi
First time on the Ferris Wheel, looking a little nervous and biting her lip just like Mommy does.
This is fun Daddy!
Cute little princess!
Daddy took the day off to spend with Madi since our babysitters, "Ga" and "Papa," are gone on vacation. I took a half day last Thursday and brought Madi to work with me for the morning. Well, our "morning" at work turned in to an hour or so at work when Madi had a meltdown in "KidsKorner." I was upstairs working and Madi was at the childcare here at the Y (which I might add is downstairs) and I could actually hear her screaming. Needless to say, we came home early! So, we learned that Madi can't go to work with Mommy so today Daddy got to babysit. I just got a call from Dave asking me to tell Madi to take a nap:) I think he's realizing how much work Madisyn really is! They've had a fun filled day of eating out for breakfast (for a total of $8, tip included...Dave was to happy about this), a Wal-Mart trip, taking cans to the recycler, Bay Beach and now they're off to Great Grandma and Grandpa Reed's house where I will join them later. We're looking forward to spending some time with Great Grandma and Grandpa and Grandma has offered to make us dinner tonight, what a great treat! The moral of the story is...we're all excited for "Ga and Papa" to get home tonight!!!
