The insanity that is home buying!

So we found a great house. It has a bedroom and full bath on the main floor which we need for my MIL. Finding a house with this feature is very rare in the area we are moving too. So we made an offer, 14k under asking. They countered 6k over asking. So we countered back 9k under asking. Then it got hard. Someone else decided to offer. Now we have to submit our final and best and hope they pick us. We need this house for so many reasons. I hate this process. The up and down of emotion, the do this and do that of it all. We have placed furniture in our heads, we have budgeted and figured out every detail. It all sucks.

Beach Fun!

So we had our Beach weekend. All the fam was there and it was wonderful. The Hubs actually had the weekend off and I think he enjoyed himself. We ate enough fresh made salt water taffy to sink a ship. I am allergic to to much sodium so my lips puffed and my throat got tight but man was it yummy! We played in the water even though it was like walking into ...well.....the ocean, lol. Nice and cold but so wonderful. We found sand dollars and saw some awesome starfish.

Our cabin was to die for. Rustic as all get out with low ceilings and pine walls but way to much fun.



We also went to the next town up and played in the arcade for a while. The kids had a blast!! They loved running on the beach!



I also loved the quality time with my stud muffin!!





Only mar was being called by the wicked witch. She tried pretty hard to ruin our fun but we banned together and ignored her evil plot. I am hoping a house mushes her soon though.
