Onto newer horizons...

We (hopefully) should have a formal offer on the house mid week. I haven't said much on my blog, or to anyone in general, because we aren't 100% sure yet. Honestly, I won't be rest assured until that piece of paper is sitting in my sweaty little palm. Some of our neighbor's moved here from California and their parents are in the process of moving as well. Their parents came over last week and looked at the house because we had mentioned to them that we'd soon be listing our home. They fell in love with the house. They really sounded like they wanted to move in right then and there. So, they went home to think about it and talk it over. We got a call from them Friday and they came over to chat about the house. We went over our asking price and other things that they were interested in like the shed and refrigerator. They told us they would be back next week with a formal offer. So, we'll see how it goes. I'm honestly not getting all excited about it. I don't want to be let down and I am really kind of sad about moving at the moment. This is the house we brought our two sons home to and we have lots of happy memories here. I was telling Mr. Big this morning that I was hoping we'd bring our last child home here and be able to tell the kids one day that we completed our family in that house. Although, I know that we have outgrown this space and it's genuinely time to move onto bigger, greener pastures. Mr. Big said it best when he held me hand in bed and told me "Home is where the heart is". I couldn't agree more! Why does he always have the right things to say? I just love this man!

We have a couple appointments today with realtors in the area. We're going house hunting. I really think we will end up leasing something for awhile until we figure out where we want to settle. I hate to do that, because we'll be moving twice, but for us-right now-it is the best option. Mr. Big is starting his new job on Tuesday and we're not sure if we want to stay in this general area or move to another part of town. We're just not sure so we hate to committ to anything and make a major purchase of a home right now. So, we'll tuck our equity away and pay some of our bills off and just enjoy our family in a lease home for awhile.

Right now, the uncertainty is driving me nuts. I could use some more pillow talk from Mr. Big. I'm sure there will be lots of that going on. Hand holding too.
