Closing in on a tenement without wheels!

by Holly

We closed on our home in Lubbock yesterday!! I would love to share a picture of our new home with you, but you know the deal... I've been taking photos of things all along, so stay tuned for a post soon. I've bought light fixtures and will be getting paint and window blinds in the next day or two, so those things will be the focus this weekend. Justin is out of town Sun-Wed so we will officially move in next weekend. Yea!

Easter and such

All I can say about photos is you had better be ready for a lot of them when we do find the cord! I've tried to be good about taking photos in the RV and while doing things here, realizing that this is a part of our life regardless of how much we are ready for the next step. There are also quite a few Easter pictures of course.

Justin's parents were in town for most of the weekend and they, Justin and Eli hunted Easter eggs around the Will Rogers and Soapsuds statue at Tech. I was with my family at a family reunion so I missed it but the pictures are pretty darn cute.

Justin and Eli came to my parents' church on Sunday morning and we spent the day eating, playing games and hunting eggs with Eli there. I use the term 'hunting' loosely, as it was more a matter of scattering the eggs on the floor and watching him pick them all up to put in his basket, then dumping the basket over his head, laughing and repeating the process. He was thrilled that Nana had put nickels in some of the eggs and chocolate/peanut butter eggs in others. Yeah- score one for Eli the next day when he was playing with his eggs unattended and I walked in to find his face covered in chocolate and peanut butter and had to go fishing in his mouth for the little bits of foil that had previously covered the little egg. He now plays with empty eggs.

We are set to close on our house next Wednesday- the 22nd. Yea! I guarantee there will be pictures of the house coming very soon!

Homeless

In this economy it is weird to say, but I am happy to annouce we are officially homeless. We have had a long hard week of trying to get our Allen house sold and closed and it all happened this morning. Yipee!

My Tuesday

Is that an RV park in my rearview?

After some negotiation, the homeowner has accepted our offer on the Lubbock house!! Yea! We signed the amended contract this morning and are geared up for the next steps- scheduling the inspection, getting financing in place, curbing our excitement enough to be patient for the close date. At this point its scheduled for April 22, so we should be in the house in about 3 weeks!!! Would love to share pictures with you but can't find the cord to download from the camera. Be patient, my friends!
