Walk thru

Well, we had our walk thru this morning with Randy. It went pretty well. There were only a few items to address....they installed the wrong shower door in the master bath, the fire place wasn't working and there were a few minor scratches on the wood floors. They also tried to schedule a closing with us for Monday, March 22nd. We'll see if that actually happens...I'm pretty skeptical at this point. We're still waiting for a call from our lawyer to see if they will actually be able to legally close and give us some guarantees as far as our home warranties go. It would be so nice to get this all wrapped up and actually start living our lives like normal again...in a brand new, beautiful home that we love every square inch of! It did look awesome! :) The other issue I'm struggling with is really wanting to be able to leave my job after we close and SAH with Ellie. Financially, I really don't think this can be a reality until Mark gets a new job and who knows when that will happen. We just don't have enough in savings to warrant me quitting very soon. Not to mention we have two good sized car loans and some expensive things coming up...Erin's wedding in Jamaica (probably need at least $3,000), wanting to put in a fence (around $8,000), and saving up for the birth of our next child (about $11,000 including saving up to start an ESA for both the new kid and Ellie).

We'll get it all figured out though. I just may be spending more time away from the little one than I would like. I really shouldn't be boo whooing though. We are in a much better place than a lot of people....even a lot of our friends. I always seem to be needing to remind myself to be thankful for what we have and not dwell on what we don't.
