Moving on up!

Well, the Simon Family is moving on up, people!   I am so happy to announce to the blog sphere the amazing hubby that I have has a new job!!!!  On May 7th, he will be reporting to London Computer Systems in Cincinnati.  I am so happy, I feel like I am about burst into a million sunbeams.  Not the Twilight weird glitter effect but maybe more Beauty and the Beast from Disney except if I turn into a Man with a really ripped body, my husband might have an issue with that.  Just Saying. 

But I digress.  Now that hubby will be joining me in the 45 minute commute (on the good days) and the 2 hour commute on the bad days, house hunting has been kicked up into high gear for us.   And today we went out for a 5 house, 2 hour tour of Deer Park and I fell in love.  The lay out as close to perfect as I think we are able to get. With a Garage and a driveway that doesn't scare the daylights out of me.  Here is a little picture of the house I want for your viewing pleasure. 

Doesn't that just scream Deirdre and the Hubby must live here!!!   I have already started to fix the house up in my mind.  ooh we are in trouble, but the good kind of trouble.   This is the first house that I am like, "Yes, I can see us in this."  How fun would it be to fix it up and do our thing in this house.

That is it for now.  But I'm seriously beaming here, guys.  I love it.

Thank god tomorrow is Friday!

I don't know about you but I feel like this weekend just can't come fast enough.  Work was crazy... I felt like no matter what I did or said this week was good enough.  No matter how hard I worked on improving I just received rejection for anything and everything.  I know, I know... We don't live in a world that everyone gets A's all the time but I spent two months working on a project when I wasn't crazy busy with my main job for it to be outright rejected by my boss.  As unprofessional as crying at work is.  I won't lie and say I didn't tear up.  I worked every trick in the book not sit at my desk and cry.  

To top that off, Hubby and I got into a big fight.  Well, Let me rephrase.  I fought he just looked at me, not really knowing what to say.  I can't even say it is really his fault and it wasn't like we had some horrible crisis go on.  Trust me, we have had much worst fights.  It was just the perfect storm.  Crappy day at work and Crappy day at home.  I just wanted him to appear more on board.

See, we are supposedly starting to look at houses.  That was our compromise....   We won't move out of state (like I want to do but he would rather not) but we will start to seriously think about buying a house.   However, since making that compromise, I feel like I am dragging him along to do the things that are needed for house hunting and such.  Look, I don't want to push him into a house, he says that he wants to look for a house but his actions are telling me that he doesn't.  And if that is the case, then I don't want to be the driving force here.   I want it to be a joint effort where we both have fun with this.  But it is turning into a stressful mess, so I have decide that from now on I'm not doing anything till he is ready to move on it.  So basically he has to make the first move.  It is like Dating all over again.  I just have to remember to giggle and bat my eyes lashes. But seriously until then, I'm in a holding spot.   Because we are a partnership and I'm not doing this without my partner. So until then my dream is just going to have to wait a bit.  *Sigh,  I'm not good at the whole patience thing.*

What are you guys doing for the weekend?
