Last Tuesday Brady I flew back down to Austin in an attempt to try and find a house again.\u00a0 It’s definitely not an easy task flying with a baby.\u00a0 Especially when all 4 top teeth have broken partially or all the way through her gums.\u00a0 Couple that with flying during flu season and it’s just exhausting.\u00a0 This time I made the smart move and paid to check my bag on both sides so it was just Brady and the diaper bag to deal with.\u00a0 Again Brady did surprisingly well.\u00a0 In order to save $200 on the ticket (and get it for 1\/3 of the price of my last one), we had to leave Austin at 6:20am.\u00a0 Not fun, especially when most people on the plane were hoping to sleep.\u00a0 Brady slept for maybe 45 minutes of the 1 hour and 50 minute flight.\u00a0 I can understand she’s not used to being up that early and traveling and everything else it just makes me feel stressed and helpless when she cries.<\/p>\n
Casey worked 2nd\/3rd shift while we were there.\u00a0 I write 2\/3 because he was slowly trying to ease off the 10p-8a shift but it was still a completely different schedule than Brady and I were on which was disappointing.\u00a0 Wednesdsay, I went and saw six more houses and told Casey that out of everything we had seen I could narrow it down to three.\u00a0 After some talk we narrowed it down to two, and by the next day it was down to one.\u00a0 After some negotiating, we finally had an executed contract on Friday.\u00a0 We were stressed and apprehensive all weekend\u00a0 because we found out the builder was not VA approved – meaning if the VA doesn’t approve the builder, they won’t loan money to buy a house.\u00a0 As of this morning, the builder gained their VA approval status and things are moving along.\u00a0 Because of all the first time home buyers taking advantage of the tax credit, VA closings are 45 days out right now.\u00a0 This makes things a little difficult considering the movers are supposed to be delivering our stuff the first week of November.\u00a0 Fortunately, we’ve reached a deal with the builder to lease until we close.\u00a0 Hopefully, things work out with inspections this week and everything going according to plan.\u00a0 It’s all been a very stressful week and the closer it gets to time, the more anxiety and stress I feel hopefully it’ll all calm soon!<\/p>\n
We were lucky enough to attend Jude’s 1st birthday party on Saturday!\u00a0 Robin planned a really cute cowboy theme party and we met a lot of really nice people that I’m sure we’ll start seeing more of once we’re in Austin.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n
