Good News!!!

We have an offer on our cottage! YES! It has been on the market for a year and a month, so it is about time! We recently lowered the price and that really started the interest. The offer was faxed to me this morning and I counter-offered. So we'll see... it has been hard to do with Ryan out of town and hard to reach, but the offer was close to what we wanted, so we had already talked about the details before he left. These people had been through twice before he ever left, and our realtor felt like they would make an offer. It has been a pain today though because my email is down and the realtor had emailed me the offer. So I went to work- still couldn't access the account b/c the whole server is down. So I had him fax it to the Boeves. Lisa and I couldn't figure out how to fax back the counteroffer so we had to wait until Boeve could come home and do it. So it was time consuming! Now I'll just wait until the buyers receive our offer and see how it goes from there. Someone else may be interested and another realtor is showing it tomorrow as well, but I hope this one goes through. They want to close within 14 days of the initial contract!!!! We'll have to bust our buns to get our stuff out, but it will be nice to only have one more payment. So excited!!!!! 1 down, 1 more to go! :-)

And my wonderful husband surprised me with a flower delivery today. He must have set them up to be delivered before he left because he had written the card himself. It was a sweet card and the flowers are beautiful as you can see! He knew I'd be stressed taking care of the kids by myself while he was out-of-town, so he sent them as a surprise. Thanks honey!




I have two kids sleeping and one prowling the neighborhood so I am off to enjoy some quiet time!
