Well, that fell through. They likely would have accepted my second offer but then I discovered that I would also be responsible for back taxes and lot rent and that was...a lot. So I told him if they wanted to accept the first offer while I still paid the back fees, I would be open to that. Heck, HE didn't even know how much the back fees were. But no call back so I guess that's done with.

So anyway, we have a few more to look at possibly today unless this crazy snow keeps up. What's that old saying about in like a lion? Let's hope it holds true! These we're looking at now are privately owned, so likely no back fees, etc.. and we can just pay the cash price and be done with all the red tape.

I was a bit disappointed because it was bigger, and it was more attractive on the outside, but everything happens for a reason. Of course Scott thinks that maybe the dead skunk near our lot is maybe a premonition too haha.

Yesterday I looked out at our yard and thought that maybe we should just stay put. But that would mean us scrimping and living paycheck to paycheck and that's just not working. Gage even said the other day he wished we could have a day where someone wasn't going to work. Pretty much every day of the week one of us is gone. It's nice we dont' have to use daycare but it's hard on the family unit when we're always running from one job to the next. Right now, Scott's working two jobs and I've got this one and it makes for a crazy schedule.

So...I'm thinking we'll find a decent option here soon and get moving on it. If the snow lets up.
