Its been a while I guess since I've posted last. There has not been a lot of down time lately. Constantly keeping the house picked up and presentable. And honestly, Becca and I have purposely not spending a lot of time at the house, so not to clutter it up and get it messy again! But still no takers. We wonder now, since school has started, how many families are going to put THEIR house on the market. So we're a little nervous that if we do get an offer, there isn't something out there that we are completely in love with. All in God's timing!

I've started something new. I'm selling Avon now. With my mom-in-law selling, and the long time consultant at Grainger who is no longer working there...seemed like a good opportunity, with 200+ women that are lost without their consultant! Ha!
I'm just in my first campaign. We'll see how it goes! I'm optimistic and love that customer's that aren't even near me can order from my website... www.youravon.com/ynicholson. So check it out! Want free shipping? Enter FSANY in the coupon code and it will ship directly to you free of shipping!

Becca has s new love for Football. We took her to a UNI game last weekend and she loved it! She wore her Panther Cheerleader outfit that Grandpa Steve bought her and ponytail ribbons that I made. She looked adorable! She loved the loud music and danced alot! We shared popcorn and icecream and juice. I think we will be doing it again sometime soon.




As the weather remains cool, I look forward to nature walks and pumpkin patches and trick or treating with her! She's decided she wants to be a Pirate! We're piecing her costume together with great success and can't wait to reveal her alter-ego! Stay tuned!

1 month and counting

That is how long our house has been on the market now. I shouldn't be disappointed. It really hasn't been all that long. And we're getting SUPER foot traffic through the house with private showings. (13 as of last night...thats outside of the 3 open houses we've had with a total of 9 people through).
We've been told that we have someone who wants to make an offer, but that was 2 weeks ago now. Supposidly his deal is, that he's waiting for his bank to approve his open line of credit. Then he would make a cash offer to us. However, we haven't heard anything back yet. I'm not counting on it after 2 weeks now. My guess is he's either moved on to something else, or can't get the credit he was needing to make an offer.

In theman time, we've now been to 18 open houses, and have definitely narrowed our wants vs need list. If all the houses we've seen were on the market the day we sold our house, we have it narrowed down to 2. The one I've liked from the beginning, which needs alot of paint, maybe a new kitchen countertop for the near future and complete kitchen redo in a couple of years and new carpet or pergo in the finished basement. ORrrrr...the one that Tim is stuck on, which for anyone else is fine the way it is. Its beautiful, new kitchen, new hardwood floors...however to be right for us, it needs a view to the backyard, doors to a deck, a total bathroom remodel and an additional stall and a 1/2 added to the current one stall garage. That scares me and I don't want to have to do all that. And to doo all that, we would need them to come down in price about $15k...which is NOT going to happen. That would put this house into a range that we aren't even looking in...because they are so yucky. Not going to happen...just have to convince Tim of that. Yeah it would be great when its all done, but I don't think its feasible.

so....um....lets pray that things work out the way they need to work out (wink)!
