So here I sit, it's nearing midnight.

Today was spent in the car. After a week of looking at homes in our new location, I am exhausted. We drove home today to a spotless house, ready to be put on the market.

Looking at homes has only made the decision more real. We are no closer to finding a home than when we left last Friday.

...

Tonight I snapped at my husband, "Thanks for the help."

Sarcasm has always been my strong suit.

...

I appreciate all of you sticking with me through the silence. To be honest, I barely checked my email since leaving home. My inbox overfloweth. I hesitate to add up how much time my husband and I spent in the car this week. Preliminary drive-bys were made to determine if the home was worthy of an inside visit. There are several things we don't want to waste our time with.

In our last move, I was a bit more flip about the house. We found three, I told my husband to pick whatever he wanted. I didn't care. Knowing that we are planning to be in this house for more than three years, I am putting my not-so-itty-bitty foot down.

The next couple weeks will involve finishing up some overdue projects, starting some new ones, and packing.

Oh, the packing.

But yes, I have that fancy-pants new sewing machine that I will not allow to sit idle. No sirree. I even took it with me last week and set up shop in my inlaws dining room.

Congrats on 900 posts!

Hope the house-hunting (and selling) goes well as the weather wars up!

Sounds stressful in so many ways...
Hugs. Hope you find something you can both agree on.

I am looking forward to being closer to you, but I understand there is a lot to do between now and then. Choosing a home is not an easy task. Good luck!

I don't envy you the finding a new house and packing up the old one, again. Good luck in finding something that suits your family!

Ugggh! House hunting is beyond stressful. Remember to breathe and that murder is illegal. (o;
