We finally closed on our house!! YEAH!!! It has been a long time coming. We have ran into many, many problems since we own Bark Busters. Most lenders have put tighter restrictions anyways, but it seem liked we were really having to jump through hoops. One lender told us that if the business address and the personal address were the same that we weren't allowed to claim any of that income!! We also were having to go back about 6 months and print out every deposit that we made to make sure nobody was gifting us money. The list could go on and on. We finally gave up on that. We found a house at a really, really good price that the owner was really to owner finance, and not charge us a high interest rate. It is only about 60 seconds from my parents. It is 2500 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, 2 1/5 baths. It has everything we needed and more. We have an over sized two car garage with TONS of cabinets and a lot of attic space to store all the things we have managed to accumulate. The master is over sized, so it fits all our furniture and we have nice bathroom with 2 big closets. Sorry no pictures, I left the camera in Kansas!! One of my favorite rooms is our guest bedroom. Since both Mike's mom and dad live out of town, we are hoping they will be able to come down and see the girls more often now that we have a place for them to stay.
We empty our two storage sheds on Friday and Saturday before Christmas and then left that following Sunday to go to Kansas. We came back home on Saturday. The girls really enjoyed getting to spend a week with PoPo and NaNa (Mike's Dad). They were spoiled and received a ton of Christmas presents. One of Reagan's favorite is a little stuffed Mickey Mouse she got from Traci. I don't think she has put him down!! She has added him to her collection of animals that she thinks she just needs to sleep with. I think she is up to about 6-7!!
I received a ton of new Fiesta Ware pieces from both my parents and Mike's. I am pumped!! I know have a formal dining room to put my hutch to display everything. Know I can really start collecting things.
Michael's parents are going to come down in the next couple of weeks to see the house so I will hopefully be able to post pictures of our house and Christmas then!!
