Our New Home

Woohoo! Today we are officially homeowners in the great big ole state of Texas. I can not believe we closed escrow in a week!!! So unbelievable, especially these days where lenders are putting so much demand and asking for the impossible.

George found this house a week ago when the other house was a no go. It is a new built house, 2010, 3466 square feet, 4 bed rooms, 3 1/2 bath, a Media, Study and Gameroom. I can't wait for us to arrive in Texas and start the new chapter of our lives.

Monday Daybook for January 18, 2010

I am going to start following The Simple Woman's Daybook. I just love this idea. I've seen it before on a few blogs that I follow and thought I would join in.

Outside my window...it's dark and pouring rain, temperature of 57 degrees.

I am thinking...that I'm really tired from being up at 5am today and will soon be heading to bed. I hope.

I am thankful...for my two little ones. Love them to pieces.

I am wearing...the usual; jeans, t-shirt,my fuzzy slippers.

I am remembering...how much I hate packing and moving.

I am going...to scrapbook this weekend if not before, at least before I pack all my scrap stuff. I mean it!

I am currently reading... Nothing, no time with the baby, toddler, and packing. I do have some magazines (People, Scrapbook Etc., and Redbook) that I glance over, before falling asleep.

I am hoping...that we move to Texas soon. I hate not having George around all week.

On my mind...excited and nervous about our move out to Texas and the home purchase.

Noticing that...I've been skipping way to many meals. Really need to at least eat one good meal a day.

Pondering...what I want to do with my scrap room that I will have in Texas. Need to search for a desk and shelves for all my stuff.

From the kitchen...Picadillo with white rice. Brianas favorite meal.

Around the house... Lots of toys on the family room floor and table.

One of my favorite things...my fuzzy slippers. They're so warm!

From my picture journal...is at the top because I think pictures look better at the beginning of the blog. ....this is how my living room looks like right now. Toys....Toys...Toys.

Thanks for stopping by. {{HUGS}}

Argh!!!

Yesterday, they did the home inspection on the house and today we received said report. Well, it did not go well. The house has all kinds of problems and the owner is not going to fix any of them, he had changed the contract to say we are to buy the house as is. Good thing we have 10 days to back out of the deal. The bad part is that we have to start over and search for the right house and of course we are out of the $450.00 for the home inspection and another $100.00 the goes to the freaking owner for us backing out of the contract, gotta love this Texas law. Wonder if he knew about the issues this house had. Argh, this is so frustrating and so stressful. I want all of us to be together again and this is just pushing things back.

George is going to search this week-end for another house, so hopefully he finds something we both will like. So please pray for us. I am so stressed about all of this, its just taking a lot of me right now. I don't sleep or eat well and dealing with the baby and a 4 year old by myself is not helping much either.

Praying this week-end will be a good one.

Finally!

Well, things are finally going in motion. We are in escrow for our new house in Texas. After going back and forth with the Sellers, they finally agreed to pay the fees that THEY are suppose to pay and not us. They were not aware of some of the fees and wanted us to pay for all of it. Um mm...NO!

If all goes well and please pray that it does, we close escrow at the end of the month. So, me and the kids will finally be in Texas the first or second week of February. George wants to paint some of the rooms, before we get there and some other little maintenance that he feels it needs to be done before we arrive.

Here is a picture of the house. It has 4 bedrooms, 3 1/2 bath and is over 3300 sq ft. Very large backyard, which I love.

Now to start the purging and packing, the ugly part of moving. Wish us luck. 01/12/2010
