New House

We did it! We are one step shy of being homeowners. Closing date. June 18th. Our little fam will be busy until then. The kids and I are off to Brighton.Il for a week and then back to Nashville because Aunt Jen is coming for a week. Then we all go to Chicago for a week. Adam will only stay a long weekend. By the time we get back, it will be a day before closing.

Once we close, we have almost 10 days to transition. We have some painting,pulling up carpet and hardware for light fixtures to do and then we should be ready. We are super excited to have this home. If any of you know that before we moved here to TN, we were one day away from house hunting in the suburbs. However my wise hubby decided that we needed to be DEBT FREE!! WE were/are huge fans of Dave Ramsey, even before we moved to Nashville. Once we buy the house we will continue to be debt free minus the mortgage. It has been difficult at times but most rewarding knowing we are not slave to the lender.

I will try and post pictures of our June happenings.

One day when I am BIG.......

One day when I am big..... I will be a snake.

One day when I am big... I will be a whale.

Cute things my daughter has said this past week. My favorite by far was"Mommy I love your frinkles. One day when I am BIG I am going to buy them at the grocery store." (Frinkles meaning freckles). How sweet.

We are very close to fulfilling my One day when I am BIG.... I will own a home. We are waiting to hear if the seller accepts our counteroffer.

Seth is getting bigger but is not sleeping as long as I would like. Oh well. There will come a time where I miss him being so small.



Obviously this picture is posed but cute.
