Red roof inn, we'll leave the light on for ya

So as life would have it we made up our mind about our living situation. We fell in love with a huge gorgeous Victorian home. Started the process of buying it, one important step being selling our current home. As irony would have it that would be a simple 48hr task. Lol With current home sold we forged ahead with paper work, inspections and counting the days till we had our 4,000 sq ft home. Weeks into our journey it all came to a devastating hualt, hours into the home inspection it was discovered the foundation was not structurly sound and riddled with termites.

It felt like the wind had been knocked out of me, as I felt dazed and confused for that lost of our dream we didn't have time to dwell on it. We HAD to move in a matter of weeks, remember the blessing of selling our home in 48hrs it was now coming back to bite us in the ass.

The entire point of moving was to be closer to family rather it was to Trenton or ohio we just want to have this amazing supportive community around us. I've struggled with no longer having that dysfunctional army network around me, but that's another blog in itself. After hundreds of discussions with anyone and everyone it came down to my parents not wanting to start over in ohio at such an old age. So it was determined for now we stay here, now with all that in mind Trenton only had 4 houses on the market. The Victorian was D U N with that we looked at the other 3.

The "pool" house with the pool was remodeled but done by a moron. Being small and absolutely not making any sense with the layout we crossed it off that list. Next we headed to the "corner" house which has been on the market for yearsssss, and we know why. Lol everything is very dated and dirty worn out with a decent price tag. Once again we crosse that 90s blue green nightmare off. All that was left was what everyone calls the "red roof inn" bet ya can't guess anything special about the house.

The "red roof inn" is just two houses down from my parents home, which being a good or bad thinks still up for debate. With no other options we did a walk threw, which the home was actually pretty decent. It had newer appliances, fixtures, with nice large tile threw out. It was bigger than our current home by about 500sq ft but didn't have the 4th bedroom or  separate family room that was a MUST on our list.

After a week  of late night conversations jeremy and I decided we could make the red roof work, hell it was that or we were homeless. Sooo with our great options we put an offer on the house......



I think this is plenty of house talk for one post. Lol it gets much better, we'll not for us but I guess for others it can be quite entertaining. Till the next time I lock myself outside with headphones.

Being....

So life seems have to gotten away from me again. I'm always talking with my friends who blog that "I soooo need to get back into it" but its just a passing thought that seems to come around in the dead of the night. However, tonight i've wondered to my page in my mindless internet wondering and decided better late than never.

Ever felt like there are too many things going on in life and you don't have enough hours in the day to A) figure out what is best B)figure out how i emotionally feel about it C)not lose you mind from the stress. Yep that's been me lately. I can't seem to make up my mind about anything lately, to have another child, to move our family to Ohio, to give someone a piece of my mind or bite my tongue. I swear if I didn't die my hair so much I would find a bunch of grey hair. lol

SO over the next few days, weeks, years....... I have to figure this all out.
