Sick, Sick, Sick!

Since we have moved into my Parents house, someone has been sick at all times. I am laughing now but it has not been fun.

First Gracie and Garrett both were coughing with Runny noses. They passed it onto Grandpa but Gracie didn't get better so off to the Dr. we went. Turns out she had a mild case of Pnemonia which went away with antibiotics. Garrett felt better but Grandpa was still sick. Then it came around again, Garrett's nose started running again and Gracie complained of a sore throat. Oh no, now I have a scratchy dry throat. Grandpa gets it again - the poor old man can't catch a break. Grandma has knee surgery on Thursday. Then on Friday we were out and about... everyone feeling great! And then...Gracie gets a tummy ache in the car and throws up everywhere. It was soo sad. We pull over and do our best to clean up and drive home. Of course she slept with us and once again puked all over my bed! YUCK! change the sheets, give the poor girl a bath and try to go back to sleep at 2:00 in the morn... Today, ALL IS WELL!

HOORAY!

And the verdict is.....

We are going to build.... AGAIN!


I am so excited this week. We found a lot and closed on Monday. The lot is in South Jordan in the best neighborhood ever. We are going to be on Thomas View Circle.... crazy! The land used to be Jake's Great Grandpa's farmland and then his great uncles land. It was developed a few years ago and the lots were selling at $240K. Now that the market turned, we were able to buy one at an affordable price and it was not a short sale.

I think I might be more excited that the house hunt is over. I DO NOT like dealing with short sale properties. We had put two offers in on two different short sale homes and waited and waited and still heard nothing. Also, one of the homes we had put an offer in on was diminishing by the week. The previous owners were "stealing" all of the fixtures, including lights, plumbing fixtures, garage door openers, appliances, etc. What a nightmare.

Anyways, our search is over and I am extatic... the only sad part is that we don't know when we will be able to start building. Oh well, good things come to those who wait. :)
