The most important part of the story is the ending...no one reads a book to get to the middle.

I'm in the 60's!!!
Yeah-a-h! I am in the 60's now...69 more days until my due date. Which reminds me, I need to find an OB here. I haven't done that yet. And we need to call Beverly and tell her "no" on that house :( , and we are going to go sign papers for our last offer on that house. I don't know why that guy thinks that he has the upper hand in all this, his house has been on the market for 6 months. So if he tries to counter this offer I think our next offer will be "See you in a few months and we will offer what we did the first time, see if it sounds any more appealing to you then." because right now we are the only ones even looking at the house anyway. Oh, and Mama, I was wrong about the amount of carpet in the upstairs...there is more than 1/2 your livingroom...it goes down the short hallway too, but still not $10,000 worth of carpet by any means. Plus, I want to pick my own carpet anyhow, I don't want some cheap-o carpet that HE chose JUST to sell the house. So we will see what he says at this offer. I am so glad that we have had Luke helping us with this. It's nice to know that there is someone that we can take his word at face value and know that he isn't just trying to make a buck off of us. I wish we could have just brought Desiree and David (our realtors from Pocatello) with us...I really liked them, I felt like they were working FOR US (given, I understand that they were also trying to make money, that's what realtors do) but I felt like if there was something in the house to be worried about they would let you know "this and this would need to be fixed, I can only guess, but I would guess it would cost x-amount to fix it" etc. etc. I really wonder sometimes if De knows what she's doing. It feels like any time we want to see a house more than once it's like "*Sigh*, ok....um....well...yeah, I could do that....." and it feels like she thinks it's a burden to do her job. I let Jon do all of the talking (he thinks it's funny), but I am like my Mom, I just have a hard time hiding my emotions in my tone of voice. If I'm upset with you, I can't talk to you without you knowing that I'm upset or if you hurt my feelings, or if you just make me irritated...you'll know, because disguising my tone is just not one of my talents. So if she asks a question Jon answers, if he's not there then I just keep my responses to a 2 word or less reply. I need to go get dressed, we have to go sign the contract AGAIN for this offer and have to re-read the whole thing (that SHOULD be the same as the last contract with just a different offer...but I just don't know that I trust her. Last time we signed a contract I was reading through it and I noticed that it said that the BUYER (us) was the one paying the 2% for her "services". So I asked her about it, and she said "Oh, it won't let us take it out, it says in there somewhere after that, that it's NOT the buyer, but the seller that pays the 2%" So I asked her where...she couldn't find it so she says "Well, I promise it's in there somewhere." I had to ask her 5 times (I am not exagerating) where it was until I finally said "I will NOT sign this until I see with my own eyes where it says that we are not going to pay for it." I was thinking if it was something that if she's lying I would lose like $20 or something, I probablly would have signed it because the boys were getting restless and I wanted to go home...but in this case if she was lying it would cost us a couple of THOUSAND dollars, I'm not OK with that. So again, she's all annoyed because I'm making her do her job. and she couldn't find it, but low and behold she printed up another contract (1 of 4 of the SAME contract because she kept messing something up) and MAGICALLY there it was...right in the same spot where the "computer wouldn't let them take that part out"...that part got taken out. Funny how that happened. That could be another blessing in disguise I suppose. If we have to wait for this house, then starting in April Jon gets "lawer privilages" through the company. We would only have to pay less than I'm sure it would cost for an hour of "lawer time" if we paid for it ourselves and that gets us "lawer privilages" for a month. But we don't qualify until April for that. So whatever happens, happens I suppose.
