How did THAT happen!

One day you are just living with your parents, the next you are moving next door and renting a duplex, and about 4 days later you are putting in an offer on a house. Yea, crazy. Both us and Nate and Erica have put in offers on matching houses right next to each other in Chehalis. A little silly, and totally unexpected. They are just simple 1,700 sq ft, 3 bed 2 bath homes, but we could get them at a steal. The chances of us getting them are very slim because they are short sales, but it all happened so quick and before I knew it we were getting pre-approved and signing the paperwork. Of course, now we are all jazzed about it and will probably be crushed if we don't get them. We even went out Friday night after we put in the offers to celebrate by watching Avatar in IMAX 3D (which I totally recommend even if you have already seen it.) Keep your fingers crossed.

My first response to this news is to feel very excited and hopeful for you!! And how amazing that will be if it works for you and your sister to both get these homes and live next door to each other!! :)
It would work nicely for your parents, too, as they can have a chance of seeing both families in one visit! :)
Right on the heels of this excitment came the reality that if you get these homes in Chehalis, you'll no longer be in the Toledo Ward, and I'll never get to see you guys! :( Even though we seldom get to talk at church, I still enjoy glancing over at your little family and seeing you there! :)
I guess we have to let go of you sometime, but if it all works out I ask that you atleast come with your parents and visit our ward on occassion so we can see you! Is it a deal!? :)

Are they the houses behind Twin Star Credit Union? Very exciting!!! Keep us posted. We watched Avatar in 3D on Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Now I want to see it again. Good Luck!!!!

Congrats and good luck on the house. I guess that means you'll be sticking around this area for a while and not moving away with work.

yay!

Good luck.
