Around the House

A few pictures from around the house. A while back Brett and I painted these portraits of one another. I wanted something of the boys to go with it, so Cannon painted portraits of himself and Sutton. Aren't they cute?



I got rid of the pillows that came with our couch and added some new ones, with lots of COLOR! We just got the roman shades too.



This is our dining room and possibly one of my favorite rooms in the house.


Everything is a work in progress. We are starting to settle in to our home. It's only been 5 months since we moved in.

House Update

We got a call on Friday. The bank said we will have an accepted offer by May 5th. Note, I did not say counteroffer! Looks like they are taking our offer, we have nothing in writing so I think nothing is official but it might just be.

I also found a house on the same street, same floorplan that is for sale that I like better. HA! There were some things I did not like about the house we made an offer on and they are so much better in house #2!

Brett says to forget about #2 because he feels there is no way we will get it for the price of #1. I am thinking shouldn't we let them know that House #1 is about to be foreclosed?? :)

Anyway, looks like we might have a house this year.

prayer request

our realtor said another offer was submitted on the house. we have a contract and our offer has been sent to the bank already which is good. this offer is a full price offer and the owner is notifying the bank about it. sicne our offer was in first i think we have the option of matching their offer if the bank rejects ours. but not sure if we will do that.

so we will see...

A New House?

We have been house hunting and we made an offer on a house. I was hesitant to write about it because it might not happen. The offer we made was a short sale and we have to wait to hear back from the bank which could take forever! They may not accept our offer, so we wait to see if we have a new house. I want to post pictures but I am worried I might jinx us. Ha!

It is in Wescott which is the community we live in now. It isn't our dream house but we are SUPER excited about it. I am in LOVE with all the space and closets! Brett is in love with the golf course view, the fact that he can walk right onto the course in the evening with our "Tiger-in-Training" and the extra parking pad just perfect for his boat!

Cannon is in love with the bonus room which he has claimed as "my BIIIIIG room" and huge, concrete frog in the neighbor's yard. Sutton is probably happy too! There is so much space to explore.

I cannot wait to see if this is "our" house.

If not, we will be on the house hunt again.
