Weekend Update

Friday, we were suppose to close again on the new house, and it did not happen. Saturday, we went to a Family Reunion with PawPaw Estes and Gi Gi. We were able to spend the day with them, MeMaw, Uncle John, Uncle Bubba, Aunt Eleanor, and many others. Sunday, we went to church, took a nap, and Brent graded papers. Monday, we were suppose to close again on the house, and it didn't happen. If I take off early from work many more times to close on the house and don't, I may have to find a new job.
This mortgage company is something else. That is putting it kindly.
Thanks to everyone who has been helping us and so supportive. We couldn't have made it this far without you!

We Love you...

Yesterday

We were driving home from school and daycare. Cullen says,

"Mama, I love you more than dinosaurs."

March thru April 18th

I have not been good at all about blogging, and I am going to offer this excuse for it. We have been knee deep in the house hunt, or should I say Brent has been knee deep in the house hunt. He spends most (all) of his free time looking for houses or information on the internet about houses. Many things have happened since the last post.

The house that we put a bid on well, we took it back. We found another house that I absolutely fell in love with. It was beautiful but crooked. Yes, we had it inspected, and it had many unlevel areas. Built quick but not well. So, that one was out the window. There have been many since then but just not the right one, until...

We found a terrific house, in a great neighborhood, with easy access to everything, and a new construction. It is nice cul-de-sac living with a good sized backyard. We have a contract on the house but things have been happening one after another. Most not for the good. Brent has been on the computer, phone, and meeting with everyone concerning this house. We did our initial walk through and are suppose to close by Friday. Well, I don't know if things are going to happen in our favor despite all the work Brent has done. You just wouldn't believe what he has done. I am trying to prepare myself for what could possibly happen. If we don't get it, it is for a reason and another will come along. I will be disappointed but will get over it. Anyway, we have a contract on a house and will know by Friday or maybe before if we have it for sure.

Cullen had a good birthday. It was four days of celebration. Thursday the 12th, his teachers had a party for him and one of the other teachers. They gave him dinosaur shoes. He wears them all the time. Friday the 13th, I took a dinosaur cake and goodies for his class so he could have another class party. They planned the Thursday party after we already had things for Friday party. Saturday the 14th, we went to The Dino Museum, Imax, and for a train ride. He had a dinosaur cookie cake for his home cake. Sunday the 15th, church and his favorite place to eat. Can anyone guess? Pappadeaux's He ended up not feeling very well so we went home and watched movies.

Thanks for all of his presents. He loved everything.
