Bedroom Clean-up

I have mentioned before that my husband and I are in the process of buying a house. We are still waiting on closing. We were suppose to close on October 2nd, but that didn't happen. We are having some issues with our morgage guy who doesn't like to give us messages, return phone calls, and seems to work at a speed slower than a snail. We found a house we love that ended up being for sale by owner. It makes me wonder if we would have decided on a house where we were working with a realitor if we would still have all these problems. Then the frustration that a friend of ours is looking at a house that just got on the market that has more land, a cheaper price, and everything we want in a house. Unfortunatly with the changes in FHA loans and credit scores if we don't get this house we would have to wait until our credit scores got higher to meet the new requirements.

Anyways, as soon as we put a bid on the house and it was accepted we decided to move out of the duplex we were renting and in with my parents for the time being to save money. All of our belongings that we don't use regularly is stored in the garage at the house we are buying. My parents offered for us to move back into my old bedroom, but they weren't going to take out everything they have moved in their when I left. It is not such a big deal, I only get half my closet, and they put book shelves where my sister is housing some of her books. This doesn't leave me with much storage or room for my stuff. I have tried to use the space I have available as best as I can. I did move and stack my sisters books a little differently so I could have more space.

Over the weekend I straightened out and organzied my room a little better to use the space I have available. Here is some pictures of the small space and a lot of stuff I have.

More houses, more disappointment. Things are not going as fast and smoothly as we hoped, but that is just the reality check.
At the race this past Saturday night we won our heat. It is our first win of anything this year so that is great. The car is getting better and we have a great driver this time.
We leave for our cruise in less that two weeks. I am so excited but haven't really started packing or getting anything ready. I have been so wrapped up in trying to find a house that I haven't been doing anything with the cruise. Time to get my butt in gear.

House Hunting

We got a pre-approval so we are now spending our nights that I have off house hunting. We are also searching the internet to see what is out there. We have probably drove past 30 or more houses that were in consideration to narrow down if we likes them or not. We have been inside 5 and disappointed by 4 of them. There are 3 more houses we are going to look at this Sunday.

It started off as being really exciting, now it has turned into more of a job in a sense. Being disappointed 3 times in a row sucks. They all had water damage in the basement, foundation not good, etc.

So now we are working on packing for vacation, packing for moving, and finding a house. so much to do.
