The months in between...

So I have not been keeping up to date on my blog and I must say I miss it! I did just post the blog about going back to work that I wrote back in July, just a now. I decided to post it because it is what I really did all summer waiting for our house.

Oh what a summer we have had and I cant believe it is already October!!!Lets see if I can give a quick summary of what went down....

July (end of)-

We both went back to work. I started the travel team at the bank, which means I floated from office to office when I was needed. Really I stayed in downtown Portsmouth for a month because they had back to back vacations! I like to think its because they really liked me!Anyways still the run around on the house and we are steadily freaking out because all our back up houses are gone!

August-

We have back doored our realtor and went on to the sellers realtor, hey you have to do what you have to do sometimes! He is completely amazed that our realtor is being like she is, and tells us that the house is being foreclosed on!!! Mild panic sets in.

We are still commuting from NC to VA and thankfully its not wearing on our nerves too bad!

We give the realtors an ultimatum, if we cant get in by the 11th we walk. He tells us that we can have early possession of the house until closing, and since the bank owns it, we do not have to pay rent! SWEET!!! We call the furniture guys to bring us our stuff... On Monday, as the guys are hauling in the last piece of furniture, the sellers realtor comes over and says, the house is going up for auction on Thursday and that we will have to go bid on it at the court house steps!! (Excuse me while I say some very bad words!) It seems our realtor has known this and has failed to tell us! Thanks. So we really freak and everyone is scrambling around to get all the paperwork done. And we are happy to say that on August 10th we got our house!!!!!!

During all of this Caleb turned 11! And he finally got tall enough to ride all the rides at Busch Gardens!!

September-

Charles and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary!! Who would of thought 2 high school lovers would have made it this far? I got a permanent position at the Norfolk branch and we are starting to really settle into the house. We even painted some rooms!

October it is.... man the time has flown by, things are slowing down, only to be rushed by the upcoming holiday season, but I still feel like I have yet to catch up! So thats it in a brief, but not so spunky, summary.
