Because I have time to post! Yay!
So we've been looking at apartments in the area and we found out our friend's house is still for sale. It's not in the best neighborhood ever but it could be worse. It's only a couple blocks from our daycare and maybe a mile from work, lol. I have absolutely no clue what we're doing but I think we might actually look into it more. I contacted someone at my mom's work and a friend who is a realtor is sending some info our way. I'm excited and scared that it won't work out. I was totally not going to buy a house because I didn't want to stay here much longer, but screw it, lol. Even if we only stay a few more years it might save us money. Maybe, idk. We need more room though!
I hope it works out for you estrellita. Being a home owner can be really expensive, but mortgage is so much cheaper then rent.
I went to the chiropractor today. I put two weeks between today and my last appointment. I'm starting to feel so much better. Scheduled another appointment for two weeks away. Hoping to make it to just once a month soon.

bk1 thanks, I hope so too! Looking at the pictures of the house make me really excited. I really want it! We are going to look at it. I'm hoping we can figure out how to keep the payments and other bills as low as possible!
estrellita that sounds really exciting! Is the house nicer than an apartment would be?
It's a little older but I like the old houses around here! It's a 3 bed/3 bath. It's not huge or anything but definitely more room than our apartment! I just hope the payments plus other bills won't be too much for us!
I want to go shopping but can't really justify that I need anything. Plus I'm exhausted and I don't think I have the energy to search through the clearance racks, which is what I normally do.
Tomorrow is our 5th anniversary and I have no gift for H. I don't plan to get anything either lol. I'm thinking strawberry picking, zoo, out for dinner on Saturday if I have the energy for all of that.
estrellita I really hope it works out. I'll be sending you good vibes Keep us posted!
I went through all the paperwork in our house today and threw out more than half of it! Feels SO good! We just finished packing the cooler. H and I are going to the beach for the afternoon and grill out! I love summer <3

Good luck estrellita! I hope everything works out for you guys! Sounds very promising and hopefully it will be a good investment if you guys decide to relocate in a few years.
Went for a walk this morning and then story time at the library! Need to try and get out of the house between the next nap but we'll see...it's really hot here again today and I'm hating feeling like we are trapped inside the house (vs. going for stroller walks, to the park, etc).
Oh, and we have a leak in our sprinkler system (I think main line). DH is trying to fix it and turned it off last night and manually turned them on this morning when he woke up at 5. I know I should be thankful he does these things, and I am...but, it woke C up an hour early and of course he's extra fussy. I let him stay in his crib til 6 (he wasn't screaming, just fussing and not sleeping) and thankfully he took a decent first nap. I was hugely annoyed at DH...maybe that's more of a confession...poor guy can't win around here!
estrellita- I hope whatever happens works out how you want it to.
@moonbeam- I still haven't gotten DH a birthday present from April, and an anniversary present from May. Lol, I just don't know what to get him. And won't give me any ideas.
travelbug- I keep saying that I need to go through the house and throw out a lot of junk. We have a huge filing cabinet that needs to be gone through. It's just too much work.
I had a great meeting with a personal trainer this morning. I am excited to start working out more.

I have a cold that I cannot get rid of. I blame H since he just HAD to have the fan on and pointed directly at my face. Now I am stuffy and have a headache. The director of nursing tried to send me home early today because I was sitting in my office wrapped in a blanket, I just repeatedly told her I was not sick until she laughed and left my office.
So now just waiting for H to get a call from his interview last week. They told him last Friday that they'd let him know either way this week and this week is almost over! Please cross your fingers for both of us!
I am proud of myself today. I washed all the laundry AND actually put it up, in the same day! and I made my first freezer meal. I wanted to make goulash for DH and I anyway, so I just made a bigger batch than usual and froze what we didn't eat. paired with salad, we had a decent meal.
