I found THE ONE. Seriously folks its the most amazing house! Its only one bedroom less than ours and its not too too small about 600sqft smaller than our current home-but being one bedroom smaller it feels about as large. Has a nice formal living and dining room, plus an eat in kitchen, and large family room. The kitchen/family room open up to the HUGE beautifully landscaped backyard with a pool and spa and plenty of yard for the kids and the dogs. Its located in a nice neighborhood in the town we want to move to. Best part? Its been on the market for over 118days and they just lowered the price yesterday to fit within our modest budget. We've actually had some interest in our house already! Two families saw it today and our realtor told us another agent called him about showing our house to some clients tomorrow. This is awesome because we know of several families in our area who have had their house listed for OVER a year without a single showing. So hopefully this means our house is priced right. This morning when I found this house Shana and I did some talking and called our lender about a 3rd option. You know the first which is to sell this house, the second is to rent out this house and our other house that's about 30minutes from here and rent a home in the city we want to live in. WELL we came up with a third. Rent out the house down the hill and this one and buy another home. We have to talk with our Lawyer on Monday and find out if we can liquidate some assets in order to do it, our lender thinks if we can show proof of income property from two rentals we might be able to swing it. BUT we don't know how long the properties have to have been rented so idea number 3 might be short lived. But its worth a shot! I'm just praying with all the recent interest that maybe just maybe we will see an offer! I REALLY want that house!!!!!!!!!
In more depressing news I went to get my eye brows waxed today. By the same lady who has been doing them since before Olivia was born. I love her, she seems slightly sadistic but I'm always happy with the work she does. Today after she finished my eyebrow's I went to sit up and she nudged me back down saying: oh we not done! Lip lip we must do lip now look look you have moustache! WOW it was all I could do not to cry right there on the table. So I can now add that monthly expense and additional pain and suffering to my budget....life's a bitch.

awwwwh nay!!!! I laughed and nearly cried at hte lip comment.. Mike told me a couple weeks ago that he can see dark/black hairs on my lip too - I was in denial, but in closer inspection you really can.. I think I need to add it to my budget as well lol
*hug* is that the woman who waxes eyelids too? :P I just *loved* her lol xoxoxox miss you
p.s. When you say you're selling teh house, whether or not its being sold/rented etc.. I'm sad! I might not have lived there too long, but it's my FAMILY house iykwim.. When I think of "going back home to visit" I think of YOUR house and my old bedroom ;)
You'd at least better save me some room on a couch if we get a good tax return this year ;) hint hint? I'm saving...
