Where are you guys living? (Change of Address!)

"Everywhere and nowhere"is the best answer! Everyone we know has been asking, and we don't have a better answer just yet. We have been so fortunate that friends have allowed us places to stay while we have continued to search for our next home. We've bumped around here, there, and everywhere this summer. We've written up and submitted 4 offers on houses. We've had sellers decide they didn't actually want to sell, prices go UP on houses after we submitted offers, and we've been outbid. God apparently isn't ready for us to settle down into our next place just yet. In the meantime, we've stayed at the beach, at Homewood Suites, at our choir director's house, at some friends' downtown vacation condo so far. We'll move on to my mom's house, a Disney resort for a night, another hotel, and on to another friend's house for a few nights until we land in our rental home on Aug. 15. Our new temporary address will be 700 Emory Dr., same town and state, 27517. The house is just a hair (200sf) bigger than our old one we outgrew and just mile away from our old house, but we are renting it month to month and can still buy as soon as the right house comes up for sale. It'll be great to settle in and get ready for school to start. The rental house is in between both schools, so it'll be great to walk to them as much as possible. Michael keeps on saying it's been fun to stay in these nice homes but it'll be depressing when we finally do buy and our house is nowhere near as nice! We look forward to moving in soon!
