Writers Block

Sorry I haven't posted lately, I have had sort of a writer's block. There hasn't been too much going on around here, and Michael is still working hard over seas. I still miss him terribly, but we have had some great conversations lately, and I think I am out of my February funk. We are getting closer to June, and I know I can make it!

I guess the biggest news is our appraisal came back on our house. We suspected that it would be lower than what we bought the house for, and we were right. The price we got actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but it is still too much to lose. We have decided to stay in our house for a few more years, and add a closet onto a room to make it a bedroom which will add value. We have some plans to possible repaint, and do a few more things, which gives me something to look forward to. I love our house. I have decorated the way I want (Michael is a very patient man!), and it is perfect for us. Now if only I can get grass in the back yard! (This is my next goal, after I get our fence fixed next week!) I know it will be nice when we can build our dream home, but we just have to be patient. Living here a few more years will give us the opportunity to save more money and possibly get even more things in our 'dream' house.

Until then, I just need to be patient and plan on which room to re-paint first!
