happy happy happy!!!!!!!!

So the offer on the second house was out bid by someone so oh well, i dont really care because we finally have a house!!! and let me tell you the story behind it.

So when ty was a baby and he wouldnt go to sleep i would drive him around in the car with classical music to get him to go to sleep, (side note: some parents are against that but i dont see why) and it would always get him to fall asleep. When Jake and i started dating he would come with me and we got in this habit of going around looking at all of the for sale houses and then taking the flyers and guessing how much they were selling for. It was a fun game. On our drives we came across these new condos that were being built all over the place by the same builder and i loved them!!! we went to every one and went through the model homes and i have always always wanted to live in one. when we decided to move out of our apartment a couple years ago, they were selling the last of the condos and had a huge "sale" on them, so i asked how much a 3 bedroom was and it was like 255k which is more then we could afford, obviously. so that was out, but for the last 2 years whenever i pass one i always see if they are renting some out and nobody has. So when i was about to give up on the house search one of those condos popped up on our list with 4 bedrooms (2 master bedrooms and 2 kid) 3 baths and below our price!!! holy cow i flipped out! i called the realtor, James, and Jake and we went to look at the condo. I told them that i wasnt going to get excited about the house because i knew we wouldnt get it, they normally were way more expensive, it is a super new house and there is no way we wouldnt get out bid. So we went for fun. Well then we made an offer for fun. And they freaking accepted our offer!!!!!!!! And the FHA doesnt have to do an inspection because it was built in 2005 so everything is good with it. So we have no problems there. Well really we have no problems at all we are just waiting for all of the paperwork. I am so excited!! I have always wanted to live in one of these and it's perfect, beyond perfect. James has a master bedroom on his own floor and we have one on our own floor, it has room for everyone, enough room for all of the toys we have. It's just perfect! I cannot believe that with all of the crap we have been through (we've been looking since April!), we end up with my dream condo. The boys are a little upset that it doesnt have a yard, but it has a pool that we dont have to take care of! Here's a picture, its not an actual picture of the one we are moving into but it looks just the same, it the 3 story one.


on another note...Ty has been having a lot of accidents lately and it is getting really annoying. He keeps getting distracted and just waits until the last second and then runs to the bathroom but doesnt make it. I dont understand what's going on with that.

Jake has needed a new phone for like 2 years and we finally went to the store and Verizon was having a deal where you can buy one get one free on Blackberry Storms and so we both got one!! i love it! Having the internet on my phone with a huge screen is awesome! and i downloaded the Twilight Saga on my phone so i can read it wherever i want.

Congrats on the condo! It is beautiful.
Congrats on the phone! I have the books on my phone too and it is glorious. Edward is with me everywhere I go...lol I am so 12 years old.
I'm sorry about Tyler and accidents--Ave had a couple of months that she would pee her bed just because she didn't feel like getting up. Way annoying! Good luck!
