We finally decided once and for all that we are going to put off moving.
I am a little but sad, but mostly happy I think. I really the love area, and I really love not being broke. But I will miss having a walk in closet and a soaker tub. I think thats all I wanted out of this new house. We'll have it one day. We went to look for new living room furniture last week, once we decided we don't need to save for the new house. I am thinking of doing the living room in these colors. I love the grey (thats for the walls, the Granite Boulder) and then we can do the furniture in that dark brown (probably not going to match Fedora, but you get the point) and then some accents (throw pillows, curtain, etc) in that blueish-black (Black Sable). Probably won't use the Powdered Snow for anything. I just want new a living room . We've been living on my "College-years" furniture for a long time now. Its time for the new stuff.
I like this couch collection ("Georgetown collection") and it has a matching loveseat, chair, and ottoman, although, i don't think we'll go for the ottoman. I worry about redecorating the living room though, because I want it to look really good, and I don't know if I can do it myself. I hope I get that sewing machine for my birthday!

A glimmer of light
I cannot just wait around for shit. So, I called the CRC (Center for Reproductive Care) at Mac to find out for myself just how long it would take to get in. My doctor said it could be as long as 6 months, or as little as 2. Great, way to narrow that window for me.
So anyway, when I called, the woman there told me that it was 8 to 10 weeks. Much better! So, at most, it will take 2.5 months to get in there. And, its already been, what, at least a week or 2 since they referral.
Since I am not having any luck at this whole basic human function thing, I think we should really try and move forward with buying the new house. I didn't want to get it in case I was on Mat leave as soon as we took possession, but screw waiting for something that might not happen.
If I can't have a baby, at least I can have a walk-closet *sob*!
Now its just a question of how much can we sell this place for!

Thinking about a new house
I really like the house we are in now. I love the area. LOVE it. But, it is an old house, and there are a lot of things that this house doesn't have that Rich and I would like to have. His first wish is a garage, and mine is a bigger closet and ensuite bathroom. So, as luck would have it, Rich works for a builder, so we get a bit of a discount on a house if we buy with them. I didn't want to move to this new development initially, because its farther away from the highway and would add some time to our commute, but really, whats another 15 minutes. I keep telling myself that, because I want this house.It's called the Parkside, and its got a wicked porch out front. I hope the development doesn't look completely cookie cutter. This isn't the one I really want, but it's the one we can afford at the moment.
There are going to be a few small modifications to this one, in the kitchen, mostly.
I am keeping in mind that this may never happen, but, we are going to try. We are going to get a realtor in here to appraise the place and let us know about how much money we will actually have to sink into the new place, after all the miscellaneous (bullshit) charges. I'm excited!
