Monday November 23, 2009 - On the new house that is. So now we need to sell our house. We are still hoping to sell by the end of the year. We had a lot of good feedback from our open house but we will see. Keep your fingers crossed.

House Update
Saturday November 21, 2009 - After several technical difficulties on the sellers' agent's part we finally got a counter on our offer; so we are countering that. We will see how long we can go back and forth. I never thought buying and selling a home could be so nerve racking. We have our first open house tomorrow and then we may have a better idea of how fast we can sell our house. We are still crossing our fingers that by some stroke of luck we can close on both houses by the end of the year. I will keep you all posted. Have a great rest of the weekend.

Stuff
Thursday November 19, 2009 - We have been so busy the last week I have hardly taken the time to sit at the computer. This time of year is just crazy in general with the kids having holiday lunches and programs and such but we have gone a made it worse. ;) We have put our house up for sale. So I have been packing stuff, moving stuff and trying to stay on top of the everyday stuff. It has been tricky.
So yes we have our house on the market. Why? Well, I have been looking at houses for some time now and talking to Jerry about moving. Of course I never really thought we could move right now. There is a house less than a mile from us that has been on the market for awhile and I have been keeping an eye on it. They ended up getting a new realtor recently so they had an open house this weekend. I told Jerry about it and he said he wanted to go. I did not think he would want to go. So we went and looked at the house and we both liked it. But of course my responsible husband said no we are not going to buy it. I mentioned us just going and seeing what we would qualify for. So we did and we can afford the house and actually make our monthly expenses less. So we have put our house on the market and are waiting to hear back from the seller of the other house if they will accept our offer. We will know this evening. If they don't, we have decided that us moving would be a good decision right now so we would continue to look at houses and hope ours sells.
Other than the excitement of the last 5 days everything is fairly normal around here. I have some motivation to get out of bed so I am not spending half the day in bed, but I am also not able to sleep at night. Hopefully, we can all get some rest tonight.
I hope you all have a great weekend.

EXCITED!!
Friday November 13, 2009 - Happy Friday the 13th! I hope everyone had a great week. I am so excited because I just noticed that Phantom of the Opera is coming to Austin in the spring. I have been waiting for years for it to come back to Texas. Now if we can just get Les Miserables to come back. I hope you all have a great weekend. I am planning on cleaning the house and doing some yard work this weekend. Exciting I know.

November 6, 2009Jerry and I had a great time this weekend in Fredericksburg for our anniversary. We did a whole lot of nothing. It was nice to just sit and have some down time. We did get to see Malford Milligan. I don't think we have been to a concert or show since we had kids. We have decided that we need to get away more often. We were not ready to get back to reality.
There is not much to report around here. Everything is pretty much the same. I hope you all have a great rest of the week.

Tuesday November 3, 2009 - I hope you all had a great weekend. I know we did. The kids had a blast. I will post some pictures shortly.
I did go to the ophthalmologist today to have a follow up and get the pictures of my optic nerve taken. He said that my vision may have improved slightly but I told him I had not noticed any change. He said everything looks stable and you can definitely tell that there is damage to my optic nerve. He said my vision should not get worse and that he wants to see me every 6 months. So it ended up being fairly uneventful. The good thing about having the pictures done today is that I have a baseline of what my optic nerves look like now so if I get optic neuritis again we can look at the differences in damage.
I hope you all have a great rest of the week. I will post pictures from the weekend soon.
