Sad day

So today I came into work to some sad news. I found out that something that I had been working on for work took a turn for the worse. I can't go into the details, but I feel sad and annoyed at the same time. Other than that, I'm doing fine. I wonder if blogging every day is too much but work has been so boring lately that this is the only way to keep me entertained.

Yesterday was Wine Wednesday. We really should have gone to the gym but I called DH on the way to the Metro and he asked me what I wanted to do this evening? That's it! I knew that was all the temptation I needed to forgo the gym and break into one of the bottles of wine that we had bought on our First Anniversary Weekend.

We sat on our patio, ate dinner(which DH cooked like usual), and enjoyed some wine. We began the usual house/baby conversation. We started talking about how much we love our neighborhood and how we wish we could move into one of the 3-bedroom places, but they are too expensive (at least $400K). When we buy we'll probably want something in the $230K-$280K range. To get a place with 3-bedrooms we would have to move away from our neighborhood and I would have to have a longer commute than I have now.

We'll be sad to leave our little neighborhood. It is just such a relaxing place to live. It's quiet and peaceful. People walk their dogs and run on the streets. There are lots of trees and it is within walking distance of restaurants, bars, a movie theatre, grocery stores, and our favorite wine shop where they know our names. Despite all this, it is very close to the highway, which makes it easy to get around.

We'd like to take advantage of the $8K tax credit, but we don't want to rush into anything and I don't think we're ready to give up our little neighborhood yet. We'll begin saving for our DP next month and saving aggressively until we have enough. Where does a baby fit into this? Hmmm...good question. We're still trying to figure that out but I think we will start TTC at the end of the summer.
