So, today is the first full week of June. You know I have decided that I am tired--and work is just way too stressful. My company is being sold, so maybe there is an end in sight. I will most likely lose my 150 hours of sick time, so I am thinking I need to take some time off for mental health, and spend a week (or two) decompressing prior to the sale. Call it a time away for myself. Doesn't that sound absolutely fabulous??
Onto other items, C and I have decided that moving to a bigger house might not be the best solution. As bigger houses go, that don't cost at least $350,000, they are all at least 45 minutes away from work by car and huge amounts of traffic. So as an alternative, we are going to look into expanding ours. Picture it, a large master bedroom, my own bathroom, and a walk-in closet--and that's just for starters. Houses in my neighborhood are starting to go over $225,000 for approximately 1200 sf. Can you believe it? I want a closet that I can walk into, and actually say, "Now that's a closet." The way I figure it, the house will be better suited for more than two people, and cost much less than anything we care to move into, and much closer to everything.
I have basically gotten over the robbery, and we will get our money out from any improvements we do, as I think Phoenix housing market is quickly becoming out of control like CA.
I like having the ability to make your dreams come true. I think that's the best perk about being 30 something.

Hi Karen,
#1- I think adding on and keeping the pressure off to make huge mortgage payments is wise. You have a very good point to the traffic problem. I would stay as close to work as possible. Adding on seems like it would solve your space issues. Keep us posted!
#2- TAKE A VACATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not only do you deserve it. Honey, I think you need it! Go someplace warm with water and a spa. While you are there, send relaxing vibes my way!
