As I was saying....

It's the day before Thanksgiving and as of today, everything is falling into place. Thank you. We are all so relieved.
The appraisal on my parents house did not come in high enough for the buyers to get a loan to not only satisfy the buying price of the house, but also their closing costs. It's a little unreasonable to expect that, but that's what they wanted. SO, we had to appeal the appraisal which seems to be dragging....everything was coming down to the wire. The closing is still set for 12/5, we've been waiting for the lease papers on the farm house to come in, planning on renting as of 12/1 and just received those Monday. Then, we were afraid to sign them while still waiting on this appeal, yet look at the date people!! LOL Don't have much time to waste!
Got a phone call today that the buyers are anxious as well, they have "come up with their closing costs" so the initial appraisal is just fine. HUGE sigh of relief! We're meeting to sign the lease papers and hand over the checks for the rental Friday @12:30, we can start moving in over the weekend and closing on mom's house will be next Friday. PHEW!!!
Thank heavens for good wine. Hahaha!!!
Have to add that we went to parent/teacher conference for Sophia Monday night and we could not be prouder of her. She got straight A's, the teacher said that if every teacher had 20 of her they would never have a complaint and she said that she's the class role model. Once again, she's just like her mom!! LOL
Threw in a couple new pics of the girls because I'm their mama and they're so darn cute. =]
Wishing you all an outstanding day with family and friends this Thanksgiving Day.
