UNDER CONTRACT!!!!!!!

HOLY FREAK OUT!!!

Let me explain.  As I have noted here several times...I've been itching to move into a bigger house.  I absolutely LOVE our house...we renovated the hell out of it and the kitchen is gorgeous! (I may be a little biased) (and actually probably will be bigger than our next house kitchen)  BUT, the rest of the house is not so big.  There is NO storage space and the ONE bath thing gets old.  Mikey wasn't quite as ready to move as I was so I told him it was up to him...I didn't want to force it and him not be ready.  We also own (with my parents) a rental house (where I lived in law school) and are ready to sell it as well.  So...Mikey and I started talking and we figured at least one of them would sell and whichever sold first we would live in the other until it sold. 

Well, we put our house on the MLS Thursday night, and as of yesterday afternoon we are UNDER CONTRACT.  Ha! NUTS, huh?!?  The contract was finalized before a FOR SALE sign ever even went up in the front yard.  We are SHOCKED, excited, overwhelmed, etc.  We thought our house might go quick...but not THAT quick.  First and only showing was on Sunday with an offer Monday morning. 

We are ready to make a move to suburbia, (eeek!!) It's just that time for us.  As much as I am going to miss the ever living HELL out of my friends who live downtown and the amenities of downtown...I am so ready to be near the LAKE again and you can get SO much more house for your money outside of downtown.  Another bonus? Our FREE babysitters (grandparents) will be MUCH closer:)  Can't beat that.  Mikey and I both grew up outside of Columbia in the Irmo/Chapin area...we always knew we wanted to move back that way when we had kids and we definitely want our kids to go to the schools out there.  As of now we are looking at the Ballentine area as our  next "home" (in between Irmo and Chapin) and the neighborhood we want is on the LAKE!!! WOOHOO!!!  *Now, we won't live on the lake, but there is a community dock and boat ramp!*

So...assuming all goes well (appraisals, financing for the buyers, etc.) our closing date is JUNE 29th!!!  This also means that if our rental house doesn't sell before then we will be moving into it until it sells.  It is downtown also..we just don't want to buy anything until BOTH houses sell. So, realistically we could be downtown a while still...the rental house may take a while to sell. 

We have been CRAZY busy lately making both of these houses look awesome for selling, but I guess it paid off for ours...now we just need to sell the rental and we will be headed to(wards) the LAKE!!!!!! 

CANNOT.WAIT.

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
