Abbey: We got a deal!


Thanks to the sellers' realtor, they didn't even counter back, just took our offer, so we got a very nice deal! Big yay!! We couldn't believe it!

There it is. 3 Br 1 Ba (Yeah, 1 bath will take adjustment.) Eat in kitchen, not alot of cabinets but nice ones. Covered deck and right-sized yard. Not too big, but enough. (We're not grass people.) 2-car garage, which was the big plus, finished basement with plenty of storage down there as well. I'm ready to get it going....one more move, more settling, and getting used to a new place. Currently we're looking at closing middle August and moving toward the end.

The fun never ends! But can it be denied that this move was a God thing?!? Everything has just happened so fast and relatively smoothly... amazing. Sell a house, buy a house, find a quiet apartment in the meantime, jobs along the way. Really amazing. Don't get me wrong, God is good even when things are not pleasant for a time, but blessings like this are just so welcome!!

Oh happy day, Less question mark!

As a follow up to yesterday's post, I got word today that we will NOT be assigned to the new guy, but we will have an experienced coordinator after all. I feel SO much better. I also learned some other info today that made me think I still have some kinks to work out, so I'll be taking care of that this next week. I'll be SO glad when this transition/IEP stuff is behind us. I want to do the very best I can, but there's part of me who wants to just hide and let it all happen without me.

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Was there a line??

I assume that you went to vote, either today or earlier if possible. I expect that of you, know that straight up. How long did you wait in line?? And throw in the state you voted in, just for fun. I'm really curious if all areas have a big wait or if it's just the more congested ones. I voted Friday absentee/in person, and we waited about 15 mins or so. It moved VERY fast for a big line. There's just one place in our very populated county to do the absentee/in person voting, and it wasn't bad at all for what I thought it might be. If you haven't, GO VOTE people... again, please just know what you're voting for, either way. You may just have to live with your choice. God Bless America!!
