Our day started fine. We were in high spirits, about to sign our contract to sell the house. Josh was literally on the phone to get our realtor's fax number when he called us. Apparently some kids broke in our back window and rose hell. They made themselves right at home, even relit the furnace and plugged the fridge back in to keep their Heinekin cold. Then they took the touch up paint we left behind, some spray paint, and some markers and tagged every wall and window sill. They tracked paint all over one of the rugs which will have to be replaced. They tagged the backsplash over the stove, which I can't imagine coming out. They even tagged the back patio and shed. They must have been there for hours, enjoying their new playground.
The thing that sucks the most is that they will be back. The cops apparently won't even take fingerprints even though I'm sure there are TONS of them all over the place. These kids will get away with it and probably do it again. The potential buyers are going to take a look again and see if they're still interested. Let's hope they do otherwise we'll have to take the house off the market, fix it, and put in a security system. Boooooo.
They called about the car. Its being delivered tonight. Good news, right? Well it would be if we didn't have to pay with our own money :P All they accept is Cash on Delivery... a fact that was omitted during our initial scheduling. I wish we could use a credit card.
So anyway... we're trying to remain positive. I keep repeating my mantra "everything happens for a reason". Maybe we'll get a better offer or something. Maybe God has someone else in mind for our house. We're still happy to be together and we'll be even happier on Monday when we get to walk into our new home.

That is so wrong that those kids will probably get away with all of that.
I hope it all works out or you guys.At least you are all together though.
Hey I lost your e-mail in our lap top when it died.Your address would come up in my computers memory.E-mail me sometime when you have time once things settle down.
I'm sorry to hear about this...HUGS!!
But at least you are together again. Oh and just a little info, Matthew said Noah. He was talking to the christmas card i have on my fridge, i told him that was noah and tristan. He just kept saying Noah over and over again and pointing to him. It was cool. Wish we could have a playdate with the 2 of them. :( oh well, maybe someday.
