Where I've been?

OK well since you asked, 

I've been in 

VEGAS!!!

Our trip was amazing! I won some money, then lost a little, then won some more. I came out pretty much even. Which in Vegas is a WIN!

We went and saw 

Cirque du Soleil

And let me just tell you it was AMAZING!!!! It was quite possibly my favorite part of the whole trip, well that and all the free wine you can drink while gambling. Actually on second thought my favorite part was definitely the wine. :)

I missed London terribly but he had a lot of fun with his Abuela and TiTi.  I came home to a very happy little man. I can not thank them enough for keeping him for us.

On a side note we have officially moved. We just got here today and let me just tell you it was CHAOS! It took us A LOT longer than we expected to get moved out and get the house cleaned and ready for the renters. We were running around like crazy people. Allow me to explain how crazy. I walked off  and left about $5000 worth of Gonal F in the refrigerator (infertility medications for my non IF readers). Seriously, how could I leave that? We are not doing a cycle right now, but I will definitely be needing it again in a few months. Thankfully Mike called the new renters and told them not to throw it away and my AWESOME friend Sierra is going to mail it over night (on ice of course) to me next week. Disaster Averted!!!

I finally have internet back so I will be updating on here a lot more now. The last week has been exhausting and I desperately need to recharge. It's bed time for me now!

We Have Renters So We're Going To VEGAS!

I am so excited right now, allow me to give you a little background in to why. When we found out about our upcoming move, we quickly made the decision to rent our house out instead of trying to sell it. Mike and I bought this house just before the market collapsed in 2007. We got a great deal on it, or so we thought at the time. If we bought this house now, we could probably get it for about ten thousand less than what we paid with an interest rate of about 2% lower as well.  With all of that said, I will get to why I am so excited. We found renters! Last night we got the word from one of the couples that we showed the house to on Saturday, that they definitely want the house. We did a credit check and called references, and everything came back great. They are going to be signing the lease and paying the deposit in the next few days to make it official.

Can I just tell you what a HUGE relief this is. It is feels like a million pounds have been lifted off of my shoulders. I was scared that we were going to have trouble renting it out and get stuck with two mortgage payments. We could have done it financially, but we really would have started pinching pennies. We all know that moving is not a time to start pinching pennies. Decorating a new house is expensive. :)

The new renters will be moving in on June 7th, and we don't close on our new house until July 1. So in the mean time, we won't have a housing cost. You may be wondering what we are planning to do with that month of mortgage free living. Putting money away for the new house? Building our savings account a little more? Padding our budget for the next few months? NOPE!!! We are going to Vegas! Mike has some leave before he has to report to his new job, so we are planning a little impromptu trip to Sin City. I have never been, so I am ecstatic. We are dropping London off with the Grandparents and heading to Vegas for 5 days. The plan right now (although nothing has been booked) is to stay at the Luxor for 4 nights. Any suggestions of things that I MUST DO while I am there? Shows to see or Restaurant  recommendations?  I am planning to do alot of gambling and see two shows, at least one being Cirque Du Soleil. The rest of the time will be spent just shopping and wandering around.

Who knows this could just be our last trip before go back through infertility treatments, pregnancy, and having baby. **Fingers Crossed** We better enjoy it while we can.
