Pendulum

It's been a crazy mix of emotions here the last couple of days.

You know how I said it was going to be the longest weekend ever? psh. what did I know? Things are happening like crazy!

Firstly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BabyP! and CONGRATULATIONS to your surely overjoyed proud parents! =)

Secondly, I just found out a dear family friend passed away yesterday. We haven't seen her often in the past few years, but she was a woman I admired greatly, and someone I considered family (the mom I always wanted? lol. jk, mom. but family all the same)
I hope her passing comes as a releif, both to her, and her family, and that she's having as awesome a time in heaven as she did down here with us =)


Thirdly, on the house issue...
We were sent a listing on a duplex in Camarillo. It's older, and a bit smaller than the Oxnard house we offered on, and it has a pool (which most people see as a bonus, but I don't want a pool). However... it's in Camarillo. ginormous bonus points for being in the city we want. and it's cheaper.
we're going to go see it tomorrow.
seconds after submitting the request online to see it, Larry calls. Boy, that was fast. This guy checks his email every 45 seconds. =)
Apparently there are some other offers on "our" pretty house... we upped our offer a little bit, and I guess we'll hear back soon. this is the final round for offers, and we're competing against 4 people now instead of one. =P where did these people come from anyway?

flip....flop... the pendulum keeps swinging... do we want it? or something else? of course we want it. we want it more than anything. ....no we don't. we want riverpark. it's shiney and new. but the oxnard house is a great deal! and no shared walls! but camarillo is camarillo...
flip.
flop.
