So it looks like we're moving again... I did have a 3 1/2 year hiatus from moving around all the time so I guess that was a good long streak! I am not looking forward to the packing and moving part of it all, but I am happy that we're looking at single family homes to rent, which will be a step up. From condo to townhouse to single family - then hopefully to our very own single family in WI! I am hoping this will happen next year. Dare to dream.

Trying to rent a house in this area is quite a challenge. We have two applications in for two different homes. One we got approved for, but the owners are waiting on an appraisal of the home before they will be willing to sign a lease, since apparently there is a loan lying in wait for their new home. I do not even pretend to understand all this, but our realtor told us that the earliest we'll see a lease from this place is by the end of next week. This is a bummer because this is the place we REALLY liked. While it's great that the app went through and we're approved, we really aren't sure it's all going to go through which leaves us in that all too familiar limbo. *Sigh*.

The other place we have an application in is nice, but the realtor for that place is making us jump through hoops. Our realtor said we should stick with it so that we have our options open. So we are. But as of right now the latest hiccup with them is trying to figure out R's mortgage payment for the barn to decide if we have enough money to pay the rent each month. They also wanted to know exactly what kind of dogs we have, apparently lab mixes was not specific enough. So we're still waiting on that one, but that might be perfect because we really want to know what's going on with the house we REALLY like before we decide on the one that is making us jump through hoops, if that makes sense.

Ok, enough griping... well, almost. I haven't been sleeping well and my head is aching as a result.

In other news, the parental visit was fantastical as always. We had a GREAT time at the Packers game... even though they lost which wasn't the ending we all hoped for! But anyways, these things happen.

Happy hump day peeps....
