But this fare is in May and June, not April. Besides, all my other daughters are looking forward to spending Heidi's birthday with her at WDW.

If I remember correctly, Heidi's birthday is at the beginning of May. Then we could stay through the 18th and celbrate mine, too! That would be a great trip!

I checked my mail early this morning and saw yesterday's update. That one sounded better. This is so sad, and I can't imagine what they are going through.

So sad! ihope things start looking up again soon

Very pretty. I have to say that I am amazed at how much older 8th graders look now compared to when I was in school. And do any of you remember teh gunny sack (spelling?) dresses. That was what I wore to the 8th grade graduation dance

Thanks! I agree, and that is why I vetoed the dress in black. I think I remember those dresses. I can't even remember what I wore in 8th grade, but I'm sure that it was a simple sundress.

Sorry Elin I realized when we were talking ages awhile back that you are my mom's age.

The city of Fredericksburg's own website lists the median house value at $475,000.

Holy crap!

And yes, I've been looking at houses that are on the market in your neighborhood, just in case. If we have to move, I don't want the kids to have to change schools.

Deb

oooh....good catch Deb!!!

 

[Tammi67]

hhaha deb!

No comment, I see.

 

[Tammi67]

So Theresa...........any word on the house yet?

 

[babytrees]

I don't totally disagree with you, Tammi. It is better than northern Stafford or Prince William County. However, for a family starting out or needing to get a property in this area anymore it is next to impossible to find anything "decent" for under $275,000. A 1 BR condo on William Street is going for $160,000! And a little ranch house like mine, on a slab, in our neighborhood has an asking price of over $275,000. The city of Fredericksburg's own website lists the median house value at $475,000.

thank you for making our little townhouse offer seem wonderful!!!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

oooh....good catch Deb!!!

No comment, I see.

you girls crack me up--Nothing to comment on..yet... haha....Just a friend of my brother's that came over to watch movies

It's a beautiful dress!!

For Cassidy's last year she had a simple new dress....you should have seen some of the girls dressed to the 9's.

We were at a 5th grade parents meeting last night (we will not go into the fact that I will have a middle schooler soon. ) when I realized we hadn't heard....I had Jim call Jane....from what he understood of what he heard...they've accepted our bid with one minor change.

Now all we have to do is wait for the loan approval!! I want to hear today so we can not only celebrate our anniversary but the fact that we will be home owners!!

I also would like to retire someplace that is a little less extreme in winter weather. Right now, though, we are more worried about whether we will be able to stay here (if dh's job will stay here) long enough to get my kids all through high school. We also live in an area that has one of the lowest costs of living in the country, so it may be a shock to go elsewhere.

This is our problem in the Rochester area too, our housing costs are pretty low compared to other areas, so when we get ready to move we will likely be in for a shock. I definitely want to retire somewhere warmer, but would most like to have a cottage on the finger lakes in this area in the summer, and then go somewhere warmer for the winters. Don't know if I will ever be able to afford what I want, but I can dream...
