Looks Like We Are MOVING!!!

Okay, I've been knowing that we might be moving for a few weeks but I didn't want to say anything and give myself bad luck. If everything goes according to plan, we will be moving in 2 weeks (July 6). I'll tell you guys the story of the "bad luck" I mentioned. We had a cute little house that I adored, and then Jon bought another house to fix up and sell. Weellllll, we were paying 2 house notes for over a year while we tried to sell the fixer-upper house with no luck. We ended up having 3 contracts on the OTHER house ( fixer-upper) that fell through because of the buyers having financial problems. That is seriously bad luck, all 3 contracts falling through. So, Jon bribed me and told me that if I would agree to sell OUR house (the little one that I adored) and move into the other house, it would free up some of our money and I could start the adoption process sooner than planned. So that's what we did and we have been living in the OTHER house for 2 years now. We tried to sell it in the Fall of 2006 with NO LUCK. It was on the market for 4 months and only 2 people looked at it the whole time. So we put it on the market again last month and in 3 weeks TA-DAAAA, we had a great offer on our house. We tried not to get excited because of the bad luck we've had in the past. But we really had no choice, we had to hurry and find a house because IF this contract DOES go through, we have to have somewhere to move. So anyway, we found a house that was in the final stages of construction so we are able to pick the flooring, counter tops, faucets, light fixtures, and a few upgrades. Unfortunately, you have to pay for the upgrades in advance and if for some reason the people don't buy our house, we loose all the money we've paid in upgrades on the new house...OUCH!!! So please pray that everything goes OK.

Here's a picture of the new house. It is nothing fancy and quite a bit smaller than the house we are living in now, yet it is the nicest house we will have ever had so we are just so excited!!! Some of the upgrades we added were granite counter tops in the kitchen and bathrooms, a gas lantern on the front porch, a gas hook-up on the back patio for a gas grill, slate around the fireplace and slate on the back patio floor. There is a 4th bedroom over the garage which we will probably use as a computer room.

Dominick's surgery is scheduled for next Monday. They are gonna put tubes in his ears and cut the skin under his tongue-OUCH! While looking at his tonsils, the Dr. noticed that the skin under his tongue goes a little too far, if that makes any sense. It doesn't appear to affect his tongue but there is a slight chance it could cause speech problems later so it is best we do it now while he'll be put to sleep anyway. Poor little guy, I doubt it will slow him down anyway. He is one busy dude!
