Beyond Thanksgiving and Christmas, it's about the only holiday we haven't moved to a Monday.

Then again, I have to work tomorrow! The kids don't have school though!

Yeah, most of the world calls it Armistice Day still. A few of us just have to be different lol.

It is sad.

I appreciated being in England for it. The poppies on Remembrance Sunday were nice. They have not forgotten.

Happy Veteran's day Michelle and thanks for everything you do. I so appreciate it. That is really aimed about the military but I do adore those superpokes too! lol

On both accounts lol.

Looked at a house last week. Wrote an offer, received a counteroffer, wrote a counteroffer, should hear back today. It's so scary because I currently come off active orders on December 30th, and I don't have a job lined up yet (trying for a 6-month extension of my orders). But I would still have to pay rent regardless, and having a house would obviously be an improvement over throwing away my rent every month.

Having a minor panic attack over it. Especially since I already have nearly 100k in student loans. But I can consolidate and put those in extended repayment to cut my monthly bills, so I have some flexibility.

I'm also excited cuz I'm looking at smaller houses, this one is a 3/1. I also wrote an offer on a 2/1 (but it's a bank repo and I haven't heard back from them yet).

I never planned on doing this on my own. It was always something XH and I talked about doing together, on two incomes. There's no safety net when it's just me, (although I probably will rent out a room). But at the same time it would be so nice to have my own place, and I would be buying something tangible instead of a diploma LMAO.

I am crossing my fingers for you! I know it is a bit scary but I think you will be fine. Just think you could paint one wall green and one blue and one red and one orange...whatever you want. What a great time to be a grown-up! lol

Wow,

That sounds so exciting Michelle, I hope it comes thru. You've always been resourceful and you will find away.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

My realtor just called. They accepted the counteroffer! It's going pending.

Now I have to shell out all the money I have set aside for this! LMAO. I KNOW, I have it set aside for this, but I HATE pulling money out of savings. It's not a comfortable feeling for me. But it's for a good cause.

Just gotta remember to breathe.

Breathing is good.
