Did i tell you....

that we bought a house????? it is finally over....or maybe it is just beginning. put an offer in last wednesday. we got the counter late wed night. decided to sleep on it. i worked a 12 hour shift on thursday. is it bad to say, that as we were at work, we saw another house that we liked. so while we were slowly waiting to send our counter offer back, scott ran on his lunch break to look at hosue #2. i met them at 7:30pm to look at it. great location....great floorplan....the open floor plan that i love. but needed tons of updates. we also found out someone else was putting in an offer that evening. we didn't want house #1 to get away from us. it was a great price and had many more updates and was move in ready. so we went with house #1. had to laugh b/c our realtor asked me three times "sara, are you ok with this? are you sure this is ok?" she knows this has been a hard process for me! but i think i am ok. the house we got is in Hampton Place....way the hell out south....159th and nall. but it's a great neighborhood with tons of kids. we can walk to the elementary school. the high school is just down the street too. we are in a cul de sac and kids will love playing in it. yes, i think it will be a good move for us. now we just have to survive apartment living for 10 weeks...b/c the seller's don't want to give up posession til the end of july. that will give us time to spend with the boys. we will not have to clean much, do yard work, etc. it will be 10 weeks of all about "family time." the apartments are right around the corner from our current house so we can still walk up to play with neighbor kids. you can count on us walking back up to our "old house" 2-3 times a week for play time. can also count on us heading back to sedalia more so the kids can have a driveway to ride bikes in, etc.

i went thru a depressive 3 weeks. true depression. would not eat, had anxiety like crazy, would burst into tears for no reason. yes, i even took valium that we had on hand. it was from 2 years ago when scott had to go to the ER but, heck yes, i took it. let's hope those days are over. it was a terrible feeling to have. i look forward to making many great memories in our new house......if we can just make it the next 3 months. until then.....it's packing time!

i can't wait til we can get the keys to our new house, let the boys run thru an empty house, eat pizza on the kitchen floor, and enjoy the moment. and then unpack all their toys that have been in storage over hte past months. they will be soooo excited!
