So much to say

Well, we bought a house! It wasn't the one that I wanted, at first anyway. After looking at 8 houses, M.. picked the same house that I liked! Then I started to really really look at the house and saw that there was a structural problem... the foundation had sunk in the 80s and was repaired.. I saw that they put in a new driveway and now, there was a crack in the same exact place. Nope.. I don't want a sinking house. That night M and I thought that we just wouldn't find anything at all.. we had pretty much eliminated all of the other houses. So, I called the realtor and told her that we still wanted to look and sent her about 5 listings of houses that we found online. We saw a few yucky ones.. a few nice ones and then the PERFECT house... big trees... nice front yard.. excellent neighborhood.. and it was almost perfect inside... for me.. I was really happy to see that they put in two new AC/Heating units recently and new carpet and new paint and new, new new.. On top of all that.. it was the least expensive house that we looked at.. what a steal. We made a low offer... got a counter offer and I brought that down a thousand and we got it! What a deal!!

M loves it.. I love it... we back up to a field and have 4 HUGE trees in the backyard.. so nice.. so pretty so comfy... you drive down a tree lined street on the way to the house with a ranch next to it and then just when you get to the country club and golf course, you take a left and there is our place.. I can't wait to get there.

Well.. then we were sitting at the airport and I thought I would check my voice mail at home... I was surprised to hear a message from the next door neighbor of my ex wife. I called back right away, because I was worried that something may have happened to the boys. Instead, she wanted to comiserate about the evil one and her family (ex wife and ex inlaws) I guess they have sued her twice now for stupid things.. and they won on one of them. She is so upset, she loves her house but she can't live next to those people anymore. She wanted to talk to me becuase she knew that I would understand. She told me that the neighbor on the other side already moved.. even before she sold her house, because she was afraid of them and the police didn't help.

Those people are scary.. and it came at the right time.. just when I was feeling a little guilty about leaving.. I got a wake up call about the people that I would have to deal with. Sure.. I will still be dealing with her until my boys are 18 years old.. but you know.... it's just going to be nice not to have to worry if that bitch is messing with M or my house or my cars or my job....
