Hoping Once Again

After sending a selling proposal to our renters a few weeks ago, we finally got word back from them that they are 100% interested in purchasing our house back in Reno. We tried to entice them by reducing our price significantly. Maybe it worked.

The only hang-up is that they have a house in Fernley that needs to sell and they don't think that they will qualify for another home loan as long as they have that house in their name.

They have 66 more days on the lease with their tenants. They said that once the lease is up, they will then put their house on the market. In the meantime, Kenny and I are both praying that they DO qualify for a second home loan and will move forward with our purchase more sooner than later.

Here's to keeping our fingers crossed....

Precious Moments

Last night as I sang our traditional bedtime song to my boys, I realized that it won't be long before they do not want to participate in this bedtime ritual. Right now, they beg me every evening to tuck them in and sing to them. I happily oblige, and admittedly do so quite frequently on autopilot. However, last night...for whatever reason, it struck me that what I was experiencing would soon be a fond memory that I would long to relive.

The days, weeks, months and years seem to be flying by lately. My "baby" will be 3 in a few short months....yet it was just a few blinks ago when I held my oldest in my arms for the very first time.

I'm so thankful that I realize these precious moments as they happen.
