Why I havent Been on Much Lately
 

Hi to Everyone.

I haven't been on much lately and have really missed everyone. We live by a college and they are tearing down 20 houses on the block in front of us and putting in a dorm...uggg

Of course, this is something I dont want to live in front of so we called the college and they want to buy our house. They paid for the apraisal and we are in the process now. We dont owe a ton on our house, so we should make out pretty good on the offer.

Believe it or not, we've found another house in only 2 weeks and made an offer and they've accepted. I'm so excited, but so sad too. They will probably be tearing down our house within the next 5 years. It just kills me how they can just tear down a perfectly great house.

We decided to get out now, before our property value drops. What sucks is we have an above ground pool and a great deck from it that will not fit in our new home. Well it would, but we'd have to cut down two trees to do it and we dont think thats a great way to come into a neighborhood. lol So we'll just get a hot tub instead and we belong to a swim club so we'll just use there pool. Its the hang out for all of my daughters friends, so She's ok with it.

I just got my house looking the way I want and now its time to move on. I love our new house its a two story and I've always wanted one, it has a huge back yard, and is in a quiet neighborhood.

So this is why I havn't been on much. I've missed everyone and will get on as much as I can!!! Take care and give all your babies hugs and kisses for me!!

Denise & Maddie:p

I hope you like your new house as much as the old one and im sure you will!I would never want to live by a bunch of kids in a dorm!GOOD LUCK!

Well Denise - life is an adventure and it sounds like you guys are having a good one!! With a two story home, Maddie can have her own room and then get a sibling as well (hint, hint, hint - she told us to say that).

Would love to see photos of the new house when you have time....

You've been missed and all the best in your new home...that sucks it happened just when you got your home just the way you want it but things happen for a reason and maybe this will be even BETTER right ???

huh.. i was JUST thinking about you yesterday... i hadn't seen you around in a while... but good news on the house :) you are lucky to have found a new one so quickly!!! Tell Maddie we send hugs and kisses!!

Denise,
Congratulations on getting a new home! How exciting!
I know you will miss your home now, but just think of all the new memories you can build in your new home!
Is Lauryn excited? I know it's hard on kids sometimes to move, specially if they have friends in that neighborhood.

Give sweet Maddie a big hug and kiss from Lillie and I

I hope your new house will feel like a home to you really soon after you move in. It is sad the way they tear things down now a days..

LOL - you're right about moving into a neighborhood and chopping down trees. When the people next to us moved in, they went from the top of the hill all the way to the river with their tractor - taking down all the trees in the way so they would have room for their toys - boats, tractors, etc... :thumbdown They put up a HUGE garage (two story) and we lost a lot of the privacy we moved in here for. I'm still mad at them.

So, you probably are making a good decision - well at least if any of your new neighbors are like me!!! :rolleyes:

Hi Denise,
Your smart to get out now before property values do drop.
I am sure, given time, you'll be making new memories in your
new home. Just think you get to redecorate again. You'll
have your new home just the way you like it in no time.
Congratulations and good luck.

I wondered what happened to you Denise.:) How exciting to be able to move to a two story house. I've always wanted one too. Congratulations and you'll have it decorated and looking the way you want in no time.

Oh Denise I am so glad to hear that you guys have finally found the perfect house! That is GREAT news! :D :thumbup: And wow, you guys sure did find it fast! I remember your PM not long ago at all and you guys were looking - and now you've found it! :p That's great!! WAY TO GO! :cheer: It took us over 6 MONTHS to find and buy the house that we are in now :eek: I love house hunting, but then again I HATE it, LOL. Can be very stressful and frustrating at times :rolleyes:

Anyway, congrats again and tell little Maddie that her boyfriend has sure missed seeing her GORGEOUS pictures :wub: He is thinking about her every day!

XOXO from Stedman to his love Maddie :tinyheart

Congratulations! How much fun can you have????? I hope all goes well for you during the next few weeks during the closing and move :).
