Home Reno and FET....Oh wait..........

So nothing has changed in the past 2 weeks........still doing home reno, and still in the FET cycle.

Week 3 on kitchen and bathroom re-dos, and I think we aren't as "fresh" or "up to it" as before.


Week 1 Saturday 9 AM- "Good Morning! Let's get going, I am so excited to see how great it looks in here, and go see some houses later"

Week 3 Saturday 10:30 AM- "WTF am I doing in painting clothes already.......whhhyyyyyyyy??? I don't wanna....this is the worst idea ever!! Do you think someone would still buy the house if the kitchen cabinets were only primed and not painted............"

By Week 3 Sunday, we were having a difficult time getting motivated. We are tired!
It might partially be self-inflicted. Because you know we aren't giving up our social lives to focus on working over the weekend.

Saturday I really wanted to go to this fundraiser dinner for Project Transitions (which was AMAZING) And Sunday he would not negotiate on watching the Super Bowl. So we worked a lot, but also made sure to have some socializing time.

S got the entire half bath tiled, and the vanity ready to go- assembled and measured. I finished priming the kitchen, and got it halfway painted. I also packed 10 boxes! Ready to move!

Only one problem-finding a house. Actually that's not the issue, it's being able to actually put a bid in on a house.

We have found FOUR houses we love, and shit keeps happening to the deal!
1. The "Perfect House" in Round Rock- Put the offer in, they have another one. Negotiate back and forth, they are playing games and being difficult, so we decide to walk away.

2. House on Anderson Mill- We took a bit too long to decide. It was on the market on Friday, GONE by Sunday AM.

3. 1431 House- On the market Friday, this time we moved more quickly tried to put an offer in Saturday afternoon. GONE

4. Cedar Park- Not on the market- not going to be listed for 4-6 weeks! Look at it on Sunday, attempt to put an offer in early Monday (specifically because the agent said he wasn't working Sunday) and they had gotten a cash offer SATURDAY. Seriously- why didn't you tell us this before we fell in love??!!!


This is worse than the dating scene! But we have hope there are "more fish in the sea"


About the FET--

I really have no idea what's happening. I get an ultrasound tomorrow, and that will let us know how the uterine lining is growing and the next steps. I should know more after my appointment tomorrow. But sometimes I don't know anything after the appointments, so who knows. Just going with the flow this time.....
