Tony Romo

My Tony Romo signed a contract with the Cowboys today. That is a big woohoo!!! from me. Not only is he going to be a great quarterback (as he already has been this season and the end of last season), but I also have a "little" crush on him. LOL John is fine with it, though. He bought me this pink Romo jersey.

Hip Update

I took Joshua to his oncologist today. It isn't any better than last time, but isn't any worse either, so it was an overall good appointment.

Inspection

We had the house inspected today, and it went MUCH better than the inspection of the other house. Yay!!!

House Update

OK, we ended up working everything out with the seller of that house. She agreed to sell it to us with the terms we had originally agreed on. But then, we had the inspection done this past weekend. Almost everything he inspected needed to be repaired in some way, and there were quite a few major things that needed immediate attention, including recommending that we have a structural engineer come out to look at the foundation for possible foundation problems.

So, we went out looking again yesterday, and found a house we absolutely fell in LOVE with. It is in one of my very favorite parts of Kingwood. We made an offer, and the realtor called a few minutes ago to tell us they accepted our offer! They didn't even counter, which is a good thing, because we offered the max we were willing to pay. I hope I am not jinxing myself. LOL But here are some pictures.

Nevermind

We did not get that house afterall. Or, to be more correct, we have chosen to walk away. Long story, but the seller didn't seem to think I deserved my commission as being the buyer's agent, since I am the buyer. This is after we had agreed to everything in her counter offer, and her realtor is her sister-in-law, so she isn't paying her a commission. She is wanting to sell this house through a realtor without paying any commissions at all. So it is a matter of principle for us at this point. We have a couple of other houses we have our eye on, but I will not be updating until it is signed, sealed, and delivered! LOL

We got it!

We got the house! I am trying not to get too excited until the inspections are done. Hopefully that will be completed in the next few days. But, barring any complications, this will be our new home. Our one little sofa is going to look funny in that big living room. LOL

Fingers Crossed!

We have made an offer on a house. Please wish us luck!

Another Hip Update

Joshua went back to see his oncologist for his follow-up for the surgical procedure he had done last month. His hip is almost healed!!! He still wants us to come back every month until it is completely healed, but he has released him from all his restrictions.
