Home Sweet Home...Almost

Buying a house is stressful!  We're in the thick of it right now and I'm quickly learning that it will probably take longer than I had originally planned.  The good news is we've found some really great properties (that we can afford) in our target area.  I think we've potentially found our future home, but we'll have to wait and see.  I don't want to get my hopes up.  We found a home that was PERFECT last month, but the seller accepted another offer.  We were heartbroken.  I don't want to make the same mistake with this house and set myself up for disappointment.  So, I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.  If it doesn't work out, no biggie.  We'll move on to the next one.  But I really hope it works out....

Aloha!

I booked our tickets to Hawaii in April and am uber excited for vacation!  The downer is that DH won't be able to come along.  He's got to work :-(  One of the drawbacks of working in a family business I guess.  I'm determined to to take a vacation with him before 2011 is up!  Mark my words!

I'm a little nervous to be taking such a long flight ALONE with the little man.  Just thinking about the logistics of checking in luggage keeps me up at night.  Not to mention how to keep a 1 year old entertained, in my lap, for 5 hours in a very confined space.  My wish above all wishes is that the seat next to me is empty so I'll have a little more room to maneuver.  Not holding my breath though.

The good news is that my brother and sister-in-law will be arriving around the same time (although on a different airline), so it will be helpful to meet up with them once we're on the ground. 

I still have a couple months to get my game plan together.  In the mean time, I'm just going to relish in the idea of swimming in the warm Pacific Ocean, spending quality time with my family, and having a blast with my son in the most relaxing place on Earth....ahhhhh.
