What a day!!!

Well as most of you know we are supposed to be closing on our new house tomorrow. at 1 in the afternoon! I check my email at 9 this morning and realize I have an email from the guy who is doing our mortgage. It reads that he just wants to let us know that underwriting is behind and that we may have issues with closing tomorrow...Long story short our paperwork was turned in beginning of May (there was supposedly not an issue then) but now all of a sudden they are saying it takes on the upwards of 3-4 weeks to go through underwriting!!! After consulting Robert I wrote him back and told him that it is unacceptable to tell us the day before closing that we are possibly not closing and that i do not care what kind of hoops he has to jump through we will close tomorrow at 1 no matter what!!! I am so frustrated! I spent all day at work arguing back and forth with him through email and then when i finally could start back working i was so enraged about the mortgage issue I couldn't even concentrate to work on anything! So at the end of the day i am told that he hopes that we get our paperwork tomorrow and that he was promised he would have something for us to get us closed tomorrow...call me crazy but that does not comfort me...still not knowing what is going on! So now we sit and wait in Limbo and are just doing a lot of Praying! We have taken time off work...rented a truck... lined up people to help us clean and move and watch Preston! Its been such a mess this last 13 hours!

also please pray for us as my crazy self is throwing a shower next weekend and its at my house lol. It will not be good if i have to send out a change of address note to everyone!!! Please pray for my sanity for if i stop laughing i am going to cry "o)

inching by every second of every day

Today totally drug by! I know its because I am overly excited about closing on our house!!! I went today and bought Preston the cutest swim trunks, rashguard shirt, and sun hat! He is going to be so adorable at the lake this weekend!!! I promise I will post pics! Speaking of the lake it has been so hard finding an infant life jacket for Preston! I called Bass Pro Shop after finding out they sold them online only for the guy to tell me that they do not sell life jackets for babies...they dont even make them! I quickly told him that yes they do make them and Bass Pro does indeed sell them online! He then said what are you looking for???what kind of jacket?!? Needless to say after he fussed at me for being the second person today to call asking him about them I decided that I would look somewhere else! Especially after he told me I cant help you i dont know what you are looking for LOL Some people have all the time in the world to help no one get anywhere!!! O well my friend Karens husband Andy is going to look at his work for me and I will probably buy it from there! Pray for me to keep my sanity as i get ready to finish out this week and find a life vest! Who knew it would stress me out so bad :o)

Today and this week

So today has been a great day. Even though we had lots to do it was nice to finally have a day with just me, Robert, and Preston. Preston and I started our day early (6:15). I went in to a smiling face and a squeal of delight to see me this morning. I love the mornings he is sooo incredibly sweet!!! Robert joined us down stairs at about 830 and took over baby duty so that I could take a shower to get ready for our day. By 2 o clock we had eaten breakfast and lunch, gone to Nana and Paw Paws, Robert helped with yard work and uncovered their pool, then we went to Wal-Mart and picked up cleaning supplies for our new house. Yea we are so excited and can not wait to get it ready for us to move in. Tomorrow we are going to church where Robert and I get to be in the two year old class for worship care tomorrow the lunch at the in laws and on to Prestons first Biscuit baseball game! We get to sit in a box and i am so excited! I can not wait to buy him his first Biscuit tshirt he will be soo stinking cute! I will make sure and post a few pics on here tomorrow night!
Its going to be an incredibly busy week. Aside from packing we have our final walk through on Wednesday night and then we will close on our house Friday...followed by somehow getting the whole house cleaned, cabinets contact papered, Preston's room painted and carpets cleaned so we can begin moving on Saturday! I am going to be totally exhausted!!! But it will all be worth it in the end! Please keep us in your prayers and pray for our sanity this next week as it is going to be a crazy one!

Love to all!!!

Short update

I have been blogging for sometime on my Myspace page but not everyone can read what is going on in our lives since our family in GA are mostly not on Myspace. I will use this blog to update you in what is going on in our lives and to let ya'll know how Preston is growing and changing every day. He is getting so big and growing so fast! He is 5 months old today and is about 15 pounds and 25 inches long. He is going to be a big boy! The old her gets the funner he gets and currently enjoys smiling laughing and being tickled lol. His laugh is infectious and his smile lights up the room! We are so blessed to have him in our lives!



Love
