An offer on the house!

We got an offer on the house on Thursday night after a second showing! I'm pretty excited about it. The house was only on the market for 18 days! That's pretty fabulous if you ask me! It does make it that much more real that this is all happening.

My emotions are all over the place and it's hard to keep it together from day to day. I've still got some packing to do. Right now of course I'm thinking there's not so much left but I'm betting it will take longer than I imagine.

My birthday was Saturday. It hit me that it was my last birthday in my house. Today was my last Mother's Day. So hard. Partially because Casey couldn't be here and partially because I realized that we won't see the opening of the city pool, we won't have Addison's birthday in the park again, we'll miss the 4th of July. I don't know if we'll attend Fall Fest... All the things I've loved about living here won't happen anymore. I've loved living in this house and this town. It's been awesome. Casey's childhood friends live here, his family lives here. Mine live so close to us here and we're moving away from all of it.

Of course some of the great things like family living so close, is also one of the not so great things! I'm hoping that the fantastic parts will stay fantastic and the challenges will be less challenging. I hope we can figure out the holiday situation. It's always been a huge stress and I can only imagine that it's not going to get any better living so far away!

Speaking of my birthday, I had decided to go shopping for some clothes. This turned out to be a less than best choice. Jeans shopping 7 weeks after Brynn was born was just too soon. My body just isn't all the way back to normal yet. I did score a dress for .97 from Old Navy, a skirt, 2 shirts and a cardigan. Then a swim suit that covers everything scary it can from Gap and another shirt. That should tide me over for a little while! I'll try the scary jeans shopping again later.
I did get a pretty awesome vacuum after reading a review from younghouselove. It was even on sale! I might be in love!

All in all it wasn't a bad weekend, challenging in some ways but pretty good. I'm feeling super emotional, lots of tears lately, and I'm sure it'll be that way for a little while even after we move but I know it'll get better!

It keeps on getting closer!

Next time Casey has a four day, we move! I'm going between excited and scared still. My goal these next few days is just to get through every day without crying. Mostly because it's scary to leave everyone and everything I've known. But I know it's a good thing. Yesterday Addison told her aunt that "I'm going to live with Daddy again soon!" She was also trying to pack her barbies in empty boxes while we were packing. This morning when we were getting ready to go to Grandma's house and me to work, she asked Daddy if we were going to his house and the fire station. He told her no and she said, "Oh, you have to get dressed first?" He had to tell her no. She wasn't too excited about that but when he told her that we move the next time he comes home she was happy.

Addison was super cute today. She was talking about how she is a princess, Daddy is a king, Mommy is a queen and when asked, baby sister is a princess too. She laid down on the stairs at Mom and Dad's and said we needed to "true love" her. Someone has been watching a lot of princess movies!

We had someone look at the house yesterday. They liked it! Now we just wait and see if they can get financing and if they'll put an offer in. Of course I hope we get more showings and that someone will buy the house. It's nice to hear that someone really likes your house, enough for it to be their house. It's a little bit of validation that you've done something right!

I got my fabric for my chair today. It's pretty but the yellow I was expecting was more greenish yellow and bright! I still like it, it just took a little while to get used to the differences between what I was expecting and what happened.
