It's been so long ago since my last blog that I almost forgot my login password to my blog. I even surprised myself when I remembered it. So here I am.
It's been over a month since I sold my house in Virginia. My family and I have been living out of our luggage and eating out for every meal (ugh) for the last month. It's all catching up with me! I feel like I'm on an endless vacation. And you know what happens on vacation...you gain a lot of weight!
Good news on our search for a new house...we put an offer in on a house. We narrowed our search between 2 homes....a beautiful house with vaulted ceilings, finished basement, breakfast room with large windows, ready to move in. I wouldn't have to paint a single room. The only downfall is the yard, or the lack of a yard. And our second choice is a older home that would require some work to update it (removing wallpaper, painting, etc.) but it has a large yard that would be perfect for the kids and the dogs. And it has a in-ground pool. So which one do you think we picked????
We decided on the older home. I know it's not move in ready and doesn't have vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan. Pat loved the other house. But we decided the older home was a better fit. It's in a better school district, a bigger yard, and don't forget about the pool. Plus it's also $25,000 cheaper. It's cheaper because the house is a "short sale" but that also means it takes more time to get everything approved. So I am currently waiting, hoping, praying for everything to fall into place....and quickly. In the meantime, I am getting all my ideas for the house. What color do I paint the rooms, how do I fit my furniture in, how can I get a doggie door in, when will the kids go to school, and of course...when can we have a pool party! I'll keep you posted.
