Going for the record books...
Okay, so our house has been on the market since Sunday (July 3rd), right? We've already had 5 different couples come look at the house (one M, T, W, and 2 today)... and the second couple today made us an offer that is 98.3% of the list price (I don't want to reveal how much that is cuz I don't know if mum will like that...).
FOUR DAYS after it went on the market and we already have a pretty solid offer, if you ask me. I'm encouraging my mom to take it... so that I 1) can help pack/move MY/our crap (I actually kinda like doing that), 2) will have something to do other than yardwork for the next few weeks, 3) will get high-speed internet, and 4) won't have to worry about leaving every frickin time someone wants to come look at the house (that's SOOOO annoying). We'll see how things turn out in the next few days though...
And, as for my Independence Day...
I started it off by going to my friend Bryant's house for a BBQ, then we played some Xbox and just hung out. At about 7:30, I headed over to Shannon's aunt's house in Spanaway for a country themed partay. Of course, I was all decked out in my new cowboy hat and new dancing shirt (Whatcha think?). Shannon's aunt, who was a little trashed by the time I got there, absolutely LOVED my "outfit" and seriously offered me a shot of some sorta alcohol within a couple minutes of my arrival.
The party was pretty fun though... we played a game of "backyard" volleyball, there was a "horse" in the backyard (it's was a few bales of hay with a saddle on top, as seen in my picture), and of course, lots of fireworks. Not only did I get to hang out with my good friend Shannon again, but my friend Nick (who I've known since 1st grade) was there cuz he knew Shannon's cousin, and I got to know Lauren (Shannon's best friend and maid of honor) and John (Shannon's fiancee). They're some cool kids... I can see why she likes them.
It was a low-key 4th, as far as me and fireworks are concerned (compared to years past), but still A LOT of fun.
Now, if we could only work on our terrorist relations to eliminate future happenings of today's events... :(
