So it has almost been a month since I last posted. My niece was born on Feb. 2nd and is doing great. The kids and I will be getting on a train in Raton, NM this weekend to go to CA and visit and I will finally get to hold my little Charlie Grace. I can't wait. Lexi will be spending a few days with her Nana and Papa (Bill's parents) and Nathan and I will be staying at my mom's house. On Sunday, Aunt Cindy is coming over to my mom's to visit the kids and I and then she will take Lexi to Nana's house from there. On Monday, Nathan, Charlie, Shannon and I are probably going out to lunch and then some retail therapy, a girls day out (except Nathan). Tuesday we will hang out at the house with Great Grandma, Tony, Shannon and Charlie and Lexi will come back from Nana's. Then on Wednesday, I am borrowing Tony's truck and going to the OC to drop off my pump, pick some things up from our Realtor (no the house hasn't closed yet; more to come later in this post), and visit my bestie and Lexi's bestie. On Thursday, Grandma is taking me and the kids to Legoland!!! I think I will be more excited than Lexi. LOL Friday is a day of rest at home with my family and then in the afternoon, Nana will come pick us all up and take us back to her house and we will spend Friday night and Saturday with them until they take us back to the train on Saturday evening. It is a busy week but I can't wait!!!
So as I mentioned, our house is still our house, in Lake Forest. Our buyers are being patient for now but I am just waiting for the call from our Realtor that they have backed out. B of A wants more money... Even though they were willing to take $535,000 from our 1st buyers (who backed out) and this buyer came in with that offer, they now want something like $615k. They are stalling and our Realtor is fighting the price as we were unable to even get a showing when we had the house listed from $599k-$620k (NOT 1 showing). We are in the HAFA program through the government and we are told that B of A hates this program and I believe they are waiting for it to expire on us and then they will try and foreclose. Why they would rather foreclose then take our willing buyer, I have no idea! It is very frustrating and disheartening to Bill and I. I feel for Bill as he is the one that stresses the most about finances (being his field of work and all). Please pray that they come through for us!
The kids are doing great. Nathan and I started attending a storytime at the library here in Firestone on Thursdays. He loves to watch all the little ones. Most of the kids are about a yr old but he still loves it! Lexi loves school and even attended her first classmate birthday party last weekend at the Little Gym in Boulder. I love that place and look forward to them opening one closer (due to open in Longmont soon). I want to take Nathan as I took Lexi at this age and it was so good for her!
Since my last post, we have had more visitors. Bill's parents came out the first weekend in February. It was great to have them. They took Lexi shopping and the Butterfly Pavilion on Saturday while Bill and I organized the basement and set up the play area. It is not quite finished but it is almost ready for the dogs to sleep down there and Lexi is alreay playing down there. It is cool to have that extra space set up finally! Then on Sunday we all went to the Flat Irons Mall and Lexi played in their amazing play area before we drove them back to the airport to say good bye. It was great to have them over but it was a fast visit.
That is about it for us. The weather has been great! It hasn't snowed in a few weeks and was even in the high 60's/ low 70's last weekend so all the snow melted. Weather this week has been in the low 40's and a cold breeze but it is tolerable. I am looking forward to some warmer weather in Cali! Thanks for stopping by!
