A Birthday and a House

Posted on by

It’s my daddy’s birthday today, and I found just the right card.

“Lessons from dad: With you on my side, I learned that no dream was too big, no problem too tough, no anything too anything because you’ve given me the confidence to try everything.”

And it’s true.  It’s actually become a bit of a joke between my brother and I because it’s a rare day that we don’t get a call or text from him just to say that he loves us, he’s proud of us, and he believes in us.  That must be the ticket to good parenting because frankly, Tanner and I both kick butt at life.

Then he put this picture on my Facebook:

That is one of my mother’s famous sugar cookies.  He told me to eat my heart out.  It made me feel not quite so charitable towards him and now I’m considering not giving him his birthday gift that is actually not a gift certificate for once.

He might not even care about that, though, because he’s probably feeling like his real gift is the fact that our layover at their house shouldn’t be too long.  Becauuuusseeee….

We bought a house!

The inspection is on Monday, and if everything goes well we close on March 28.

And you guys?  I’m more excited about it than I thought I’d be!  So please pray for a clean inspection. 

Then leave my dad a nice birthday note because he actually does read all my nonsense.  :)

  6. Remember there will always be SOMETHING wrong on an inspection report. I’m praying that it’s all minor things that your amazingly talented hubs can handle with no problem :) . This is SO exciting!! After inspection you must share inside pics!

  15. Happy birthday to Terry, one half of one of the coolest parenting duos I know. I hope to be as loving and in love as your parents always!!

    And so excited you’ll be closer to me so I can get away from the big city for a weekend crashing your house. Because I will.

    Happy for you!!!

  17. Happy Birthday Amy’s dad. Hope you have a great one — even though you taunted my friend on FB!

    And Amy, I’m thrilled for you and your family! My prayers on a hassle free inspection are with you. Can’t wait to see the inside and, more importantly, your plans to put your own stamp on it!

  31. Sounds like you’ve got the best Dad! Whenever I see/hear about Dads like this, I always hope that my kids get the same kind of love from their Dad too. (For the record, hubby is a good daddy, but I love seeing that continue into adulthood.)

    On another note, I always want to keep following you more but lose track. I’m going to like you on Facebook now and see if that does the trick!

    Congrats on the new house!
