We got it!

Our contract was accepted!  Can't wait!  We will have an inspection next week, and then if all goes well closing should be Sept. 21 - 45 days from today - did I count right?  The hardest work is over now, we just gotta make it happen.


I will be back in VA in 2 weeks - Aug 20 - 23, but I won't have a car.  It's for packing and picking up our stuff, but touch base with me if you want to stop by the old diggs or something!

Plan to come see us in CA too - 3 bedrooms, so one will be a guest room.  Unless you want to help unpack though, give us until after Halloween.  We will be 2.5 blocks from the beach.

try try again...

We didn't get the house we wanted on Avaition - they had another bidder who was paying cash rather than financing - can't compete with that!

Also, Brian had Joseph at the ER last night until about 1am, so all are tired here.  Joseph is fine - there is something going on internally that will have to be monitored.  We will follow up with a specialist in 2 weeks.

Found a decent preschool for Joseph for this fall though!  I am filling out the forms now.  They will take Anthony too once he is potty-trained, so perhaps we will start working on that soon.

We will see our realtor tomorrow to put an offer on our 2nd choice (better home, more expensive though...) so wish us luck!
