Week in Chicago House Hunting March 10-14 2014

We started the week off by flying in on Saturday night (4/8/14) and visiting with the Zaehringers and Mom and Dad Wassmer at a hotel close to Marty and Julies.  Sunday was the baptism with a lunch that followed.  It was so good seeing all the nieces and nephews together.  I'm a proud godmother of Alexis and Emery!!!  After the luncheon, Mom, Dad, Stephen and I traveled back to Merrillville IN where we stayed for the week to house hunt.  Monday and Tues Mom, Dad and I looked at 25 houses.  We all made little notes on the ones we liked!  Mom and Dad had to leave Tues night so Stephen and I discussed which ones we like best. On Thurs, Stephen took the day off work and we re-evaluated about 8 houses and found one we liked and placed a bid.

While in Indiana for a week, poor Stephen worked everyday which gave me time to visit with some of my friends.  One night we had diner with Barbie and Scott.  Another night, the day Stephen had to work 22hrs, I went out with my girl friends from Merrillville Animal Hospital.  Its was so good seeing those girls!! Also had lunch with Tony and Marcy-whom set me up with an interview with Allstate!  During this busy week, we also had 3.5 inches of snow....crazy!!
Well, the offer is placed!!  Hopefully the owners of Justice Street will accept our offer so just maybe, we might have a new home!! http://www.coldwellbankeronline.com/property/details/3429858/MLS-342354/1534-Justice-Dr-Crown-Point-IN-46307.aspx?SearchID=18748689&RowNum=1&StateID=20&RegionID=0&IsRegularPS=True&IsSold=False



Saturday 4/15/14, we were suppose to head to downtown Chicago with Tony and Mary for the Chicago St. Patty's Day Parade.  We had been many times before and had always had a great time!  I was so excited to "get my green on"!!  However that evening we had a call from Phyllis and Kay Courter had passed.  He had been sick for about a year and was getting on a list for a lung transplant but never made it.  He had a blood clot in his leg get loose and lodged itself in his heart.  Our St. Patty's Day Saturday was spent re-scheduling our plane tickets, car rental and driving to St. Louis to be with Cody and Phyllis!!
