Found out today that the house in Front Royal (FR) was put on the market at the beginning of November. It's priced at $83,900. It really makes me sick. I knew it would be less than what we paid ($239k), but I figured it would be more in the $100-$120k range. It also angers me that the bank wouldn't bother to refinance our loan and keep us in ( Read more... )

Tonight will be day 10 of Sammy sleeping on his own pillow! It's so nice to not be woken up with him pushing against me. I'm not sure why I didn't think of this before, sheesh ( Read more... )

The roofers have come and gone. This time they actually went in the attic! And within 5 minutes found the leak. Imagine that! If they had just done that 3 months ago, we wouldn't be where we are today. But I guess it's kind of good it happened this way, because there was another leak at the back of the house that I just noticed in the last ( Read more... )

Yup, definitely not ever recommending this roofing company! 3:55p - I just received a call from their office, stating that the guys are still on a job in Vienna and won't be able to make it out today. So they need to reschedule for Friday. I'm thankful they called, instead of leaving us hanging, but with only *5* minutes to spare in the appt ( Read more... )

So we’re mostly moved back.  Moved all the big stuff with the truck last weekend, and have been making trips with the cars as much as we can.  We still have a lot of stuff at the house, which we need to get out this week.  Unfortunately, I don’t have a lot of time ( Read more... )

I really need to update this in some capacity.  So much is going on, but it gets tiresome typing it all out!

I guess the most important news, for those that don’t know, we’re moving back to Front Royal.  The mortgage company, to our shock and surprise, offered us a modification.  It’s something that they came up with, nothing dealing with the ( Read more... )

Got quotes from Geico, Progressive, and Allstate.  Allstate was almost $300/mo for the same coverage we have right now, Geico was about the same, but had some cheaper options but wasn’t the same coverage.  Progressive didn’t even offer the same coverage we have now.

So I guess we’ll be sticking to what we have.  I really can’t believe that the ( Read more... )
