That’s us looking closer in, smaller houses, older houses (many of which haven’t been updated, but are “cute” and charming in their own way) and expensive.   This weekend we are going out to the ‘burbs.  I’m sure we’ll find one we really like.  I have resisted until this point because once I go out there and see the houses you can get for the same amount of money, there will be no going back.  We may even find one with a screened in porch.  Wouldn’t that be fun!

I like to think that I can be a city girl living close to the metro line, etc., but when it comes down to it I think I’m more comfortable in the ‘burbs.

Stay tuned…..

I recently had the luxury of going on a vacation with my husband, but without my kids. Our very own time-out. It was a much needed break. My sister spent the week with the kids while we went to Jamaica. It was great. A much needed time to recharge. Don’t get me wrong I love my kids and love being a mom, but for me to be a good mom, I need my own time too. Not to mention that my husband and I needed some time just to ourselves so we could “reconnect”. With a move coming up and living the past six months in limbo of not knowing exactly when we will be moving, our relationship has become a little strained. I’m the type of person who PLANS everything. So this state of “not knowing” has been killing me. But now we are back from our vacation and back to reality. So we continue to clean and touch up the house so it’s ready to go on the market when my husband gets his final job offer.
