House Hunting

It has been awhile since I last updated my blog.  In that time we sold our home.  It took only 8 days!  We were surprised that it would sell that fast and that we would come out ahead as well, since we only bought 3 years ago.  The main reason for us moving is we wanted to move more into town.  We lived about 15 to 20 minutes from my family. And also our back yard was too small and we really want a pool. Also we lived next to powerlines, which my dad told me cause a lot of problems and also bad for resale in the future.  We have an offer accepted on a short sale currently and just waiting for the slow banks to take their time to hand it over to us! Haha, that is if nothing goes wrong. It is located in Chandler a three bedroom, 2 bath house with a pool in the back yard.  :)  Much closer to family plus a pool!  This housing market currently is horrible for buyers.  Outbid left and right especially by cash buyers.  We have fallen in love with about 4 houses now and have been outbid so I have not become excited quite yet on the house we are in a contract with right now because we have been let down so many times.  Keep your fingers crossed for us! :)  In the meantime our stuff is in storage, which is a huge pain in the but because I don't have access to a lot of my things.  We have moved in with my mom in Tempe.  It has been a fun and cramped experience.  3 dogs and 3 people in a 1200sq foot home is a bit much.  To top it off we are sleeping in a fulls size bed when we were used to our king! Wow what a difference.  But it has been a lot of fun living with my mom and I am sure she enjoys it too :)
 

This house buying stuff has also kept my mind off the "baby" stuff.  Which has been nice. We still are not using any help and trying the natural way. Maybe this is why I am going through this struggle is to be a stronger person. But believe me the month after month let down gets me down for a day but then I am back to thinking its going to be next month!  I refuse to think it will never happen, although we have a deadline if we don't have a child by 30 we will go through with adopting a child.  But I still can't help but think that this would've been my first mothers day. :( 

Anyways, who is ready for the hot summer?!  I am!  I am hoping we get this home so we can have a fourth of July party, but at this rate that wont be happening :(
