I'm tired of looking at houses.........only a week into the search and I need a night of recovery. We're taking tonight off.
I've started a new afghan, I think I'm really going to like the way it turns out. I'm working from "scraps" of old blankets.Michael went to the doctor today and got a pretty good report back. His breathing has slightly improved and the sarcoids in his lungs have neither spread nor shrunk.Michael will remain on the chemo for the moment. The doctor told us that he would prefer we didn't have kids now, but that when we made the decision to start trying we need to discuss it with him so we can work Michael's treatment around it. I was excited about that, at least the doctor seems to think that none of the damage done with the chemo is permanent. Now we just have to focus on getting healthy.Michael and I found a subdivision last night that's still being developed that's really cute! We're going back on Saturday, I'll have to take pictures. Even if we don't buy a house in this subdivision I've gotta share the pics with you guys, you would think you were walking thru another world. We've managed to pick a few maybes and we've eliminated a ton of definite nos.I can't wait to get out of this apartment.....at this point I don't really care where we live as long as I don't have to live here anymore. I want some place I don't feel restricted!We walked thru a model home the other night in Fultondale and Michael really likes it (he's the picky one of the two of us), so I'm excited about going back with the realtor to see what they have to offer.All the people I've told that we're house hunting are full of advice for us. I guess everyone thinks that since we're first time home buyers we don't know what we're doing, but having gone thru the sale of Michael's dad's house I think we definitely have a feel for what we're doing. We're being smart about what we can actually afford and not what we're approved for. I think the biggest struggle is just finding something that both of us are happy with.Hope everyone has a great weekend! Think of us while we're out in the hot sun hunting for a home!
