Kaitlyn and Nicole are Movin' On Up (Jefferson Style)

We closed on our house yesterday.  Walton School District.  Basement!!!!  Woo Hoo.  That's the best part.  I can contain the kid mess to the basement...or at least that's the plan.  Guess that also means I need to think of new decorating ideas for their room and the playroom.  We're excited.

I think we're moving Saturday.

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

We went to the children's holiday parade this year in downtown Atlanta.  The girls definitely enjoyed it...seeing a huge Super Grover balloon coming down the street, a huge Elmo balloon, Elmo himself in costume, marching bands with dancers and flags....yes, it was a good time!!!  At one point a man turned at us and started snapping more than 30 photos.  I said to Mike that he had better be with the media or that was creepy.  Sure enough, he approached us and got our names.  He was with the AJC.  And our photo was in the online newspaper.  If you want to check it out on line, go to ajc.com.  Move your mouse over the Entertainment tab (don't click on it though).  Once over the Entertainment tab, the drop down menu will appear.  Go to Photos- Entertainment.  Find the gallery for the Holiday Parade, and we're the fourth photo.  If that's far too much work for you (and I don't blame you), here's the photo instead below:

We're Closed and Sold!!!

Mike and I are officially renting our house until Sunday.  Movers come Saturday.  Heading to a rental to tide us over.  In the meantime, we did finally find something in the Walton school district.  We negotiated on it and are officially under contract.  So, it looks like we will move TWICE between Thanksgiving and Christmas.  Joy.  Oh well.

Haven't gotten past the inspection or the appraisal yet though, and don't get me started on buyer's remorse.  So, this may fall through.  We'll see.  I'll keep you posted.

In the meantime though, we will no longer reside at Stoneywood Circle, so don't send your cute holiday cards with your kids to that address.  Still send them though, I love getting holiday cards.  I guess I'll have people send stuff to the rental, so I'll get you that address soon. 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

A Rainy Halloween

But what a blast!!!  We went to Brad and Ceylese's neighborhood since there are far more kids...just a lot more fun.  And Kaitlyn and Nicole joined the pack of kids and ran right along.  They were of the smaller in this group, so they weren't as fast between houses.  It was kind of funny.  Right when they were finally getting up to the door to get their candy, the pack would take off, so they just would too.  They didn't know any better.  They just wanted to keep up.  SO CUTE!!!  They did get plenty of candy though, and they were all about saying Happy Halloween and Trick or Treat.  Good times.

Oh, One More Thing...

Looks like we're moving.  I was waiting a while to post about this to make sure all the wrinkles like the inspection and the appraisal were ironed out.  We've made it past both of those things and are only a week out from closing at this point, so it's looking good.  Nothing is a guarantee though, but I wanted to let my readers (whoever you are...not too many I don't believe) know that we're moving. 

Where to, you might ask?  Well, we figured in a buyer's market that we'd find something no problem.  Not the case when we have so many criteria (basement, great yard, great schools, and did we mention affordable?).  Anyway, we're going rent in Mableton in the interim since we didn't find anything.  We didn't want to buy something just to buy something.  Too important of a decision to rush.  I hate that it looks like we'll be spending Christmas in a rental, but I guess that's the way it will be.  We're still looking though, so who knows.  Maybe we'll only be in the rental for a short time.

Oh....and actually, there's still one MORE thing.  Happy Birthday Mike!!!  Today's the day.
