Home away from home

I have not written much lately because, well, there is not much NEW going on right now. Same stuff....trying to sell the house, getting things packed....but finally something new did happen. My husband went on the home search yesterday. His company had us complete a list of what our criteria would be, they picked out 12 properties that they felt matched this criteria, and he spent all day yesterday touring and taking pictures. He sent me these pictures yesterday and we talked about his top three and we have it narrowed down to one we both really like. I am extremely happy with our choice, but now we are waiting on the company rep to work out the lease agreement, so in an effort not to jinx it, I can't share the details yet. Hopefully we will hear back today that the terms are settled and I will post some pictures of it. This place actually meets all the things I wanted, plus more than I expected. Maybe it will actually feel like our home away from home? I hope so. I also feel like we are in the home stretch on things here in the US. We have tentatively decided mid March will be the time we all go --dates dependent on finalizing a few things here. Since it is already the end of January, this time is going to fly by! This adds a little stress to get things wrapped up here, but also provides me some relief. I KNOW when things have to be done now, and I am pretty good at meeting deadlines. Also, daddy is coming home today --he is on a flight, about half way across the pond as I write this. The girls and I can't wait to see him tonight! He will be home for two weeks before he leaves again, so we have a lot to do, but first priority --some quality time together as a family.
