What a Weekend

We just got back from our whirlwind trip to Gulfport. All I have to say, is wow what a weekend. First of all, Jim is officially a police officer. Yay! He gets to start at the end of August. He is really excited about the whole thing.

On the house front, we found the house to buy. It is a new construction that is almost completed. The previous buyer backed out and left it for us to buy. It is an unbelievable low price in California prices and it will make us a lot better shape financially. It is funny because we weren't looking at new construction because of the usual long wait time to move in. However, we were in the neighborhood looking at another house for sale and had some time to kill so we went to the model home just to look. The real estate lady there was sooo very nice and told us that she only had the one house left to sell and it would be available around Sept 1. which is a perfect timing. The house is 2600 sq ft, 4 bedroom, den, huge kitchen and family room. Oh and it also has an awesome view of a lake in the back. So we signed up for it and about 15 minutes after we said yes, another couple came back after "thinking" about it for a couple of days and wanted it. But too bad, it was ours. Ha!

So now the pressure is totally on to sell our house. Not quite sure what we are going to do if it doesn't sell by then and don't really want to think about it right now. It does feel good to know for sure what is going on and that we have a house now to move into. But now the stress is coming from the trying to sell this house. Of course with the 118 degree heat (literally,no joking), there was no showings on our house while we were gone. I am hoping that the triple digits will go bye bye and get people out looking at houses again. We have had 20 days of triple digit temperatures! I will take the Mississippi weather anyday to what we have here.

So say your prayers about selling our house! I want out now! Or anybody want to move to California and the triple digit temps?
