We didn't get the house. In some ways I'm really broken up over it. It was the fiance's "dream house", so he is totally bummed. In other ways, I'm a little bit happy. The backyard of the house was backed up to a highway --granted, not a lot of extreme traffice, but who knows what may happen in the future.

Back to square one in looking. Hehe. I find it so funny that you all are loving the snow pictures while I'm here wishing it would warm up. It is SOOOO cold! Snow only makes it worse.

I've caught up a bit on school work, but I'm still fairly behind. I have the fiance and I scheduled to see something like 8 houses this weekend. Hoping one might be "the one" I wasn't super eager to put our financials to the test so soon a month ago --but something has clicked on in my brain that says "go for it!" I can't help but think in some ways that it would be amazing to have a space that is all our own. In other ways, I know how much extra stress trying to divide up house chores and figuring out how the dishwasher should be loaded (still one of the silliest fights I've had to this day with my future mother-in-law! I put plates where bowls should be!) and remembering that we now have to live "cheap" with no more outtings to restaurants.

*hugs* take care everyone! I'll try super hard to catch up on blogs ASAP.
