Move update

We heard back from the bank Friday.  They've presented us with a counter-offer.  It's not what we hoped for, but we don't really have any other options.  We still like it better than anything else available in our price range, so we are going to try to make it work.  We counter-offered with an offer that still nets the bank what they want, but changes closing cost dollars, so hopefully we will hear they accepted it quickly.  I think if everything goes through, and we are happy with inspections, it will be ours by mid-March.  I know Scott, C, and I are already tired of the separation. I am also apprehensive about actually moving.  I can't say I'm super thrilled about the move.  I have such good friends here, I'm not in a hurry to move.  We are going to really miss our friends.  The majority of our close friends in St. Louis have moved away, so it's going to be a lot like moving to a new place.  Here is just so comfortable.  We know what we like to do as a family here.  We didn't have kids when we were in St. Louis. I feel like I have to learn it all over again.  I have to find C a preschool again. If you remember that was an agonizing process last year, and I don't really want to do it again.  I don't know anything about pre-schools there, and I don't have a mom's group to turn to for advice about that area.  There are moms groups there, but there are almost too many to choose from.  I am feeling overwhelmed.  I am sad that C is not going to finish the school year.  He loves his teachers and he loves his friends.  I know we will find another school, and we will make new friends, but here is what's currently comfortable.  I'm going to have to find a new gym, but there don't seem to be any close other than one really pricey one.  When the time comes, I'll do what I have to, and I'll put on a happy face and make it work, but it doesn't make it easy. 

Now we will have to try and make this place a home.

And just so you know, it's a lot more yellow (almost neon) than this appears, and it needs tons of work inside.
