Time Passes with a Blink of an Eye

It has been some time since I have posted to any of my blogs. Life has been pretty overwhelming lately. I am trying to be a good wife and mother, go to school full time, and find a job. I love staying at home with my kids and that is where I want to be all the time. But I know if I ever want to be able to get out of where we live that I have to work. I want to find a job that will allow me to work from home the majority of the time, thus being one of the reasons why I am going to school for Web Development. See I envision myself being a web site designer, I am creative and I love designing web sites. So I can do something I love and it is something I could do from home.

I am super excited because I am getting ready to do a couple of websites, one is for my moms church and the other is for my moms widows club. I am doing them for free, because I can use the experience and I will be able to use it in my portfolio.Which I am soon hoping to get started on by putting it up online.

In the mean time I am searching for something anything that can bring in income to hopefully qualify for the house of our dreams. We have looked at houses and looked at houses and we want something that is roomy and big. We found this really nice neighborhood that we like and the house was amazing. It has everything we want. We know that we can afford payments for that much house with my husbands income alone but we don't think that a mortgage company would see it that way. So hopefully something we come up soon, because we really need another place to live. The area we are in is becoming an area I do not want my kids to be at.

Our plan is to put our house on the market come the first of the new year and be able to sell it pretty quickly, out agent thinks we can get $225,000 for our house. I am not so sure considering there have been a lot of foreclosures and short sells around here which has our street value pretty low, lower than what we owe.

We have out goal though and are working towards what we want. So hopefully by the time I finish school next June I will be settling into a new home that is just right for us in an area that is going to be a great fit.
