seriously?

so, we managed to sell our house in something like a little over a week. not too bad considering we're in a down economy. gotta love the girls - they talk about the bad economy and how everything is blamed on it. speaking of the girls, they had their hands full with sports this past fall

- Emma was running CC like her aunt & uncle - not like her father

- Bailey had her go at basketball for the 8th grade NE team.

so it made for an interesting fall to say the least. with getting a bunch of stuff done at the new house to have the mortgage company and insurance even think about it. but I will say that both those girls are going to great things.

back to the house. like I said, there was a bunch of stuff that we, as the buyers, had to get done in order for all the red tape to be cleared. this house is old and of course there is going to be issues, but surprisingly, it's rock solid.

oh, almost forgot, since we moved in, we have gotten that son that has always eluded us!

just kidding - brady and abby are thoroughly enjoying being neighbors...

I don't want to say that the previous owners didn't do a whole lot, but with there being nobody there for about 1 year, it was bad from a cleaning standpoint - and just from a update standpoint. there have been a few things that we did, that didn't take a lot of $ - just some time and the results were awesome.

this back door was replaced with the help of the dogs.

speaking of the dogs...

...i think that they absolutely love the house as much as we do... huge back yard that is all fenced in. they spend hours out there running around and fighting.

too much information - part three will be later today....
