My daughter is so beautiful. I love waking up to her face in the mornings. Then I look over her and see my husband. I am so in love with my little family. End Sappy Moment.

We sold the townhouse last night!! Yesterday afternoon around 2:30 Kris sees a car pull into the driveway. He dashes to the phone thinking he missed a message about a showing. Nope, no message. He runs around cleaning things up and gets a phone call from our agency. The people outside don't have an appointment but they're wondering if they can come in. Kris finished his mad dash and let's them in while he and Annika head out for a walk. I get home from work a bit early (3:30pm) to find Annika sleeping by Daddy on the couch while Daddy is watching the G4 network (a gaming channel). He transfers the sleeping baby to me so he can shower and change for work and then leaves. At 4:30pm the phone rings but Annika is still sleeping on me so I ignore it. A minute later, my cell phone rings telling me I have a message. A minute after that, the home phone rings again. Obviously, someone wants to get a hold of me and terrible thoughts of car accidents and Kris pop into my head. I know - I can't help it. Anyway, I answer the phone and it's our realtor. She has an offer and the other realtor wants to present in person tonight. Can we do 6:00pm? I call Kris right away and tell him to turn around and come home. Our meeting with the realtors goes well, I think. The other realtor is from Egypt and has a cool accent. He got there early, before our realtor so we chatted for a while. The couple buying our house are from Europe. German and Poland, I believe. Anyway, the man is an electrical engineer like me! After we negotiate on price a bit we sign the offer and everyone leaves us. Kris and I are excited but stressed at the same time. They want to close before the 15th of July! We have less than 3 weeks to pack up and move out! This is good actually because then we won't have to make our July mortgage payment. Still though, the next few weeks are going to be busy! And since our house won't be done by then (obviously) we need to find a place to stay. It will either be Grandpa Dan's house or Uncle Dusty and Aunt Kim's house. There is so much to do! Today we're going to go order appliances, maybe some light fixtures, buy the whirlpool tub, call the flooring guy to get that on order plus other miscellaneous non-house errands. Oh, and Kris has to go to work today since he didn't last night. It's going to be one hectic day! And that is why I'm up early on a Saturday morning telling you all about this. My head is going nuts and I couldn't sleep any more. I'm anxious to get rolling today.

Funny story from last night since this is supposed to be Annika's blog. The other realtor went outside to call his clients about our counter-offer. Our realtor wants to hold Annika and since there had been sufficient warm up time, Annika goes to her. Our realtor is walking around playing with Annika, making goofy faces and such. Kris and I are around the corner in the kitchen whispering about this and that - the stress already beginning. The other realtor comes back in the house and when we round the corner, he stands their holding Annika! I guess when he came back in, Annika stretched out her arms and wanted to go to him! He thought she was so cute (everyone does:) ) and has 2 grown daughters of his own and was tickled that Annika wanted to go to him. I went over to take her from him so we could finish the negotiations and she didn't want to come to me! She was perfectly happy where she was thankyouverymuch. What a little stinker. :)
