A Pullin Family Update

Okay, lets see where to start.

WE SOLD OUR HOUSE!!!!

March 28th Lena and I went with my parents to California for 2 weeks to celebrate my Grandpa's 80th Birthday. I said a prayer before we left that the house would just SELL before we got back. With 2 weeks of not having to worrying about cleaning and scheduling showings I just knew that this would be the time for it to sell. We had the most amazing/relaxing/fabulous/out of this world 2 weeks in California with my entire family (except for my cousin Megan who is currently in Japan playing professional softball, shes a stud!) Here are a few pictures from our time in California.

Well, we flew back to Houston on April 7th and still hadn't received any offers on the house. I was starting to get very depressed and anxious that I would be living in this house trying to work, keep the house clean for showings, and take care of Lena all alone while Aaron was all alone living in a sad little apartment in San Antonio. Well, that night we got an email from our realtor that we had a verbal offer. We spent the next couple days negotiating. We finally came to an agreement, but everything was done verbally. We would have to wait to see if they actually put the offer in writing.

Saturday Aaron drove Lena and I back to Midland. We walked into the house to the most wonderful surprise from our realtor. A large envelope with a note saying that included in the envelope was the contract ready for us to sign! We were so beyond thrilled. I cannot put the feeling into words honestly. Knowing that we would not have to live apart for a long time lifted such a weight off my shoulders.

So, on to the next exciting news... WE BOUGHT A NEW HOUSE!! We spent a couple days looking at houses in San Antonio and finally decided on one. After a little negotiating back and forth, we came to an agreement and went under contract this morning. We haven't had the inspection done yet, so it could still fall through but as of right now we are under contract!

So, here is the schedule as of right now.

May 20th - Close on house in Midland (movers pack up our house)
May 21st - Move to San Antonio and live in the company's apartment
June 1st- Close on house in San Antonio
June 2nd - Movers show up with our stuff!!!!

We just want to thank everyone that has supported us and prayed for us during this crazy time in our life. We are so excited about all the new opportunities we are going to have. Now, hopefully we can finally calm down a little and start preparing for the arrival of our new little one in August.

Oh yeah! the rest of the Schlaffer family is doing well with their moves also. My parents are leaving Sunday for Pittsburgh to go look at houses and are hoping to move into their new home the first week of June also. Jimmy has decided to go to OU for his Doctorate in Economics (he is seriously one of the smartest people, if not the smartest person I have ever met). Mom and I are going to Norman with him in a couple weeks to hopefully find him an apartment and then spend a couple days at his apartment in Dallas packing him up. We are so excited about all the changes that are happening right now.

She thinks shes pretty cool since shes moving to San Antonio and is going to be a Big Sister!
