Another Delay

Hello all! Well, as many of you might know, we were suppose to be closing on my townhouse yesterday (Friday). That didn't happen! We've had another set back. The realtor for the buyer called and said that the guy couldn't get off work to close, when he was the one that had set up this closing date at the beginning of February to begin with! So, we weren't sure whether to believe that excuse or not....which ended up not being the real reason for the delay! Come to find out, his loan that he is getting wasn't ready and could not be processed by that date, so we had to put it off! So, although not much of a delay, we will now be closing...hopefully!...on Tuesday, March 4th. The day and time are scheduled, so we hope no more set backs :) I will be so happy to have one mortgage off our hands!

Well, it has been a pretty good week for us. Nothing big going on. Sorry I haven't updated till now. We went out-of-town last weekend and then when we got back we had that big storm and didn't have power for like 2 days! That was crazy! :) We went to New Orleans for Scott's medical conference and had a good time. New Orleans is still pretty rough in some areas from the hurricane. It's amazing how long it can take to recover from devastation like that. The main attractions were up and going though....Bourbon St., French Quarter, Jackson Square. It's still crazy at night like it's known for! haha. It was nice for us to be able to interact and be social with Scott's collegues and co-workers outside from the hospital. It was also a nice little vacation for us. We enjoyed it, but both agree it's not somewhere where we might vacation on a regular basis.

Since we've been back, Scott and I have been working all week and getting ready to put our house on the market. Just when we get one sold, we start the whole process again! :) haha. We had our realtor come by and give us advice on things to touch up and get rid of to make it show the best it can. There is a lot more that goes into getting a house ready to sale than I ever thought! There are some touch up paint jobs that she suggested, so we are getting an estimate on that, and we have been packing up some things or making piles of stuff to pack or get rid of that she suggested should not be out for saleing purposes. I'm glad we have a storage unit to put some of this stuff in! You never realize how much you have until you get ready to move and nowhere to put it once it's all packed up!

Well, as for baby news, next week is the big week for us!! We are supposed to find out what we are having my next appointment which is Thursday. We are both excited. Now we just have to hope that baby cooperates so that we will be able to tell. I am doing fine and growing! I have a little belly, whether some people think I do or not! hee hee. I love it!

I hope everyone has a good week and I will be updating again soon. Take care!!
