Catch Up

I have a friend who has written on her blog that it has been hard to think in full sentences making her thought somewhat fragmented. Well, I have felt the same way. It's not that there isn't alot to think about or write about, but it's just been kinda hard to write what I am thinking about.

So instead, I will just catch y'all up on what is going on.

BB has made strides in the swimming pool. He is now swimming on his own with his floaties and has even let JB throw him in the water a few days. This is such a break through for him. He will bob is head under water but not fully swim. But at this point if bobbing is all he wants to do, I'll take it.

JB continues to love his job at Trustmark in Greenville. He has found some challenges that he will need overcome but looks forward to those challenges.

We are set to close on our house July 23rd. The inspection went smoothly with need to fix only a couple of things.

We are still living with my parents but this will come to an end soon. This coming weekend we will be moving all my monogramming equipment to Greenville; therefore, I will be in Greenville too in order to continue my business.

We have looked at a few houses in Greenville. But we are still unsure of what we need to do. We are at a crossroads. We can either hold off for about 8 months and stay in an apartment or move forward to buying a house within the next couple of months. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. So weighing the consequences of either is turning out to be a juggling act for me.

We certainly don't want to by a house out of desperation and too hasty. But staying in an apartment will be challenging with (2) 4 year old boys. The few days that we have spent up there has proven that. It will also be a challenge with space, a dog and my business. My business alone takes up a whole room. Not to mention that my machine can be quite a noise maker. The management has said that I can run my business but if other tenants complain about the noise, I have to stop.

That's about it for now. Hopefully soon I will be able to think more clearly and share with the rest of the world.

Until next time, See you later,
HB

just a thought...you could always rent a house while you try to figure out what neighborhood or area you would like to buy in...that way you'd have more room for the boys and your business without such a huge commitment.
but, it is a buyers market right now, so buying may be good too!
