So much going on!

Ok...it's been awhile since I've updated. Here's the news:

1) We were approved for the house I previously posted, but we had to get the trailer sold before we could do it. In the meantime, we kept looking at other houses, because frankly, the taxes were high on that one, and it wasn't close to things like restaurants or grocery stores. I like to be near civilization. Call me weird if you want, but I detest "country" living.

2) We went to Disney! Had a blast...I'm still tired and sore. It was also colder than we expected (60's during the day, but down to the 40's at night!), so I came home and have been sick since. But I think everyone enjoyed it. We are going back in May for our anniversary, but just planning to chill by the pool and eat...and maybe go to the spa. No parks this time around.

3) So...this is the biggie. I said we kept looking at houses? Yeah. We found another one. $67,000 for a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom on just over half an acre. It's about 3 miles from where we are now...just on the other side of the McDs, DQ, Subway, 2 gas stations, etc. And it's $67,000. It just needs carpet (bleach stains) and paint (it's all peachy pink). And it's $67,000. Seriously. I think we hit the jackpot, here. So we put in an offer. We haven't sold the trailer yet, but we can carry both for a while because, did I mention, it's $67,000? Yeah. We should hear back today or tomorrow on our offer. It's bank owned (obviously...why else would it be so cheap?), so we are expecting addendums to come back, but our agent saud she expects that they will accept the offer. We have a tentative closing date of March 13 right now.

DH and I are both a little panicky...but it is a GREAT price for a nice house. It last sold for $118,000, so we are going in with almost 100% equity from the start, which is nice. Of course, I have a mile long shopping list of thngs we need. Some can wait until we sell the trailer (anyone interested? I'll post the link in a second...), others we will need pretty fast (fireplace tools, blinds).

And the trailer. A couple calls for info so far. One person was going to look at it, but never called back. It it listed online (http://www.mhvillage.com/Listings/Listing.php?key=348020) and has come up in searches over 900 times so far (listed Friday, I think?), but has only been clicked 45. No calls/emails from there. And my craigslist add got flagged. Bastids. I haven't put it back there, yet. So, if anyone knows someone in GA in need of a place to live cheap...

Oh...and I know this is a diet blog, but well, I haven't been doing jack in that department. We have been eating out almost constantly. I haven't tracked anything. I will be starting over (yet again)...umm...probably when all this house stuff is done. Because until then, my stress level will be a 15. Out of 10.
