We're Almost there!

This is kinda ramble post, gotta get it out of my head so I can sleep. you've been warned.

My husband and I struggled to conceive for 2 years before we decided it was probably for the best because life had hit us pretty hard and it wasnt a great time for a baby anymore anyways. So we moved an hour for work, bought a no car payment 2door car, and signed an Extended lease on a one bedroom townhouse.

Sure enough, 3 months into the lease we get 2 pink lines and my husband knows before I do (spoilsport didnt even act suprised just 'I know every thing')

So when this tax return came and our lease ended we had a decision to make.

After some extensive research and heavy consideration I feel we made the best choice we could.

It would actually cost us less to buy a house than to try and rent a 2 bedroom in a decent part of town. (Especially since there isnt really anyone willing to rent to own or rent with intent to buy etc in the area)

So we crunched some numbers and made the best choice we could.

ONE. MORE. YEAR.

If we could make it one more year in our tiny little place with an active, mobile baby we could buy a house and be in a much better position than trying to do it now that I barely qualify.

By next years tax refund i will have paid off ALL of my credit card debt and a large chunk of medical debt freeing up almost $300 a month in income.

We finally have a savings account (With actual savings in it!) A second smaller savings started for the baby, and a light in sight.

So everytime I am agonizingly trying to wash dishes silently or holding it in when I have to pee because I'd have to walk past her crib and dont want to wake her up I remember.

One more year and we can buy her forever home.

The place with the growth marks on the door frame, painted room, chasing the dog around the yard, squirt gun fights, camping under the stars and reading books in the rain on a porch swing. Be home by 10s and slumber parties. A spare room to be her classroom and gateway to learning about anything and everything that interests her. A place where every generation can gather and marvel at the living dinosaur in the backyard that brought this whole family together. (How my husband and I met)

So I'll suck it up this last year for you. So you can have what we never did. So your biggest concern is what's our next adventure not where are we going to live next.

So sleep well my little angelic hellion. Dream of the room you will grow in and all the adventures that await us and know that by your 2nd birthday we will make it real.

We love you so very much.
