The crib is here ... the rocker/glider is due to arrive any day now ... and the Smongs have FINALLY decided to put down roots and set up the nursery in their apartment here in Santa Clara. Cletus will NOT have to sleep in a cardboard box. Yippee !!!
As most of you already know the Smongs have been knee deep in negotiations to buy what would have been their first home. Long story short ... the condo was a short sale and subject to not only the seller's but the both of their lien holders' bank approval. Our real estate agent once quoted us a 4-8 week time line to close on short sale aka "soon to go into foreclosure" type properties but we frankly didn't believe him. Two months into the process ... (and 1 month past our own drop dead date for building the nursery) we realize the errors of our ways.
While everyone tells us that the home would be ours if we just waited a liiiiiittle bit longer ... the days have drawn into weeks ... the weeks have drawn into months ... and Mrs. Smong is going hormonally crazy and antsy that her baby's stuff is sitting in the corner collecting dust. Since no one, especially Uncle Rob, wants to be around a super nasty-antsy pregnant woman ... we have postponed the home buying process and submerged ourselves knee deep into Project-Build-Me-A-Friggin-Nursery-2008.
Mrs. Smong is happy ... (and a little sad that her cute little condo on Winepol Loop will need to find a new family to love him) but we know what our priorities are. Bye bye little condo. We love your Hello Kitty pink walls and attached 2 car garage but alas ... you were not meant to be. Stay tuned for nursery pictures soon !!!
