House Hunting

We're off to MN for a house hunting trip this weekend. We'll have a marathon day on Saturday looking at a dozen or so houses. It will be nice to actually have a decent down payment this time. And on top of that the mortgage rates are even lower than they were two years ago when I thought they were as low as they'd get. It seems that most of the houses in that area are very similar...all ranches. I wonder why they don't build different styles anymore. We like the colonial we have now, but each have their advantages and disadvantages.

We're leaving Payton with her usual sitter for the weekend. We didn't even ask her...she offered! It will be so much easier especially since Payton gets really cranky while traveling.

The movers came yesterday to do a walk through so they would know just how much crap we have. It looks like they do the packing on Monday, July 25, and load on the 26th. We're renting a small U-Haul trailer to tow with us with things that we would need right away..mostly Payton's stuff. The movers won't take things like propane tanks and paint, so it goes in the uhaul too. We close on our current house on the 27th then we plan on hitting the road once that's over. I figure on three days to get to MN. I'm sure Payton won't allow us to drive more than 8 hours otherwise we would try to push on. So, we will officially be in Minnesota on July 29...hopefully.

Happy Baby at the Lake!
