Update on the House

Last Thursday i received a call from our realestate agent. She preceded to tell me that she was getting out of the business because she needed a more steady income. So Friday we took our house off the market and relisted it on Mon. with our friend Dan. I am already happy with the choice we made. He was able to find out everything we needed to know about the house going into foreclosure. We found out that it is actully going up for auction next mon. and that there is no way we can get an inspector in the house before then. So we are just going to have to take our chances and hope that the bank buys the house back and puts it on the market for a good price.

Charity Event

I know I haven't told to many people about what happened last week. Last Wed. morning I was at Target getting some last min. items for our trip when I got a phone call from Maryanna. She had told me that one of our friends Shane (whom none of yall have met) had been in a motorcycle accident. Someone pulled out in front of him and he was not able to stop in time. He suffered a head injury and the doctors were not sure if he was even going to make it. By that evening he was listed in critical but stable condition. Over the next couple of days doctors put a stint in his brain to relieve the pressure. His status kept changing and he kept going on and off the ventilator. At one point everyone was told to come to the hospital to say their goodbyes. Yesterday Shane had to have emergency surgery for a blood clot that was found in his brain during an x-ray. They successfully extracted the clot. The doctors no longer have him in a medically induced comma. We are all hoping that he will be waking up in the next couple of days. As a result of all of this Shane has accumulated a lot of hospital bills. All of his friends have got together and we are holding a cookout/car wash to help him and his fiancee out. We will also be holding a raffle to give away an i-pod nano as well as some other prizes. The event will take place on Sat. in the parking lot of Northern Tool and Equipment on Woodruff Rd. starting at 9:00 am and continue until people quit showing up. If you are not doing anything on Sat. we would greatly appreciate if you could stop by and support the cause. There are not that many people that read this sight so please tell all your friends and family to join us as well. Thank You so much and please keep Shane and the rest of his family in your prayers.

Hawaii

On Thurs. morning Graham and I headed for Maui. Even though we did not get to stay very long we had so much fun. Graham won the trip through his work all expenses paid. We arrived in Maui around 3:00 p.m. thurs. On Fri. we rented a car with 2 other people so we could go sight seeing and shopping. We went to the Iao State Park which resembled a rainforest. They say that this one spot on the island gets over 400 in. of rain a year. In fact it was raining when we got there. On Sat. we met up with a whole bunch of synnex people and went snorkeling. We were taken to the spot where we were going to snorkel by a catamaran. On our voyage out there we ended up getting surrounded by about 20 dolphins that were following us. They were showing off quit a bit to because they would jump up in the air and do flips. We also had the opportunity to see some sea turtles that were probably a couple hundred lbs. Then later that evening we attended a luau where we learned about the Hawaiian culture and got to see some really neat dancing. On Sun. before we headed home me and 3 other girls decided that we wanted to get a tattoo. I ended up with the hibiscus flower, which is the state flower, on my foot. I'm not gonna lie it hurt like hell but it was worth it. Oh yeah, Graham and I got sunburned pretty bad on Sat. He feels better but mine is still hurting.

TEETHING!!!

So yesterday morning Reed decided he only needed a 30 min. nap, which was fine with me because I figured that he would just take a longer afternoon nap. Wrong! i laid him down about 1 hr. earlier for his second nap because he was so tired. After about 2 hrs he had still not gone to sleep and he was crying. This was not his usual behavior so i knew something was wrong. I went into his room only to discover that he had been chewing on the side of his crib so I figured he was probably cutting one of his bottom front teeth since he only has 2 in. I didn't see one coming in so just out of curiosity i look back further in his mouth only to find about 1/2 of a molar sticking through the gum. i gave him some medicine and rocked him for about 30 min. then laid him in his crib and he went right to sleep.

Update on House

So our first offer on the house fell through, which is fine because they were offering a ridiculous price. We had a showing last Wed. and 2 on Sat. The only complaints we have had about the house is that it is to small. We thought the same thing when we bought the house but people will begin to realize that they are not going to get anything bigger than this for the price that we are asking. We are hoping to hear something about the house that we are wanting to buy by next week.

Grocery Shopping With Mommy!

I thought you might enjoy this pic of Reed while we were at Publix yesterday. Whoever invented these buggies is a genius. Normally Reed keeps trying to stand up when he is in a regular buggy sitting in the front but in these he stays seated and is very good.

Update on the House

Last night we heard from the realtor about the offer that was put on our house. The people said that they were not going to go any higher than there second offer. So we told them that was it. We had another showing on the house as well last night so hopefully we will hear some good feedback from them.

12 month well check-up

Yesterday was Reed's one year check-up. He now weighs 29 lbs. and is 32 1/2 in. long. He is still in the 98% for height and weight. It seems like every time he gets measured for his height the dr. always asks me how tall his dad is and if there are a lot of tall people in the family. They say that typically however tall they are at 2 just double it and that is how tall they will be as an adult. Well Reed only has 3 1/2 in. to go till he hits 3 ft. so I have a feeling that he is going to be pretty tall. Reed also received two shots yesterday so he was in a pretty ill mood for the rest of the day. Thankfully he is doing much better today!

Shocker!

Yesterday Grahm and I were doing some shopping when our realtor called us. I could not believe the news she had for us. After only 3 showings on the house we got an offer. It was a pretty crummy one so we made a counter offer today. The people that made the offer are from Rhode Island and were traveling back home today. We should hear something back from them tomorrow.
