Home...ish

Hello again! Today I woke up to blue sky! It's supposed to be 33 degrees today, which is very exciting! I'll be taking a nice long break from work today because MH has a job interview - yay! We still don't have a clue about what we will be doing for daycare so for now, I guess that means I'll have to take a long lunch to go home. Which brings me to my point of the day. Home. We have been given corporate housing for a month and a half, which is fully furnished and a very nice place to live. Here is what our place looks like:

It's nothing incredibly special but it's nice. This is obviously the living room and then there is a bedroom and bathroom to the left and right of it. Here is the kitchen:

Yes, as usual, we've managed to make a mess of the place but that's just our style :-) So back to the subject of Home. Every evening when I get to leave work, I can't say I'm going "home." I'm just not feeling like it's home, probably since we don't have much of our stuff and it's all new but what is also weird to me is that I don't feel like I can say Colorado is home. I have to go back to Colorado in a couple of weeks for a whopping 24 hours but it's weird for me to say I'm flying home. I guess I'm just stuck in limbo-land for now. I'm very anxious to find a house or a place of our own here in Milwaukee. I'm excited to have our belongings. I want to put up pictures of the family and have things put in places where I chose to put them. MH is working on finding a place. We are hoping to find a house to buy, mostly because anything that we can rent is fairly small for us. We want a four bedroom, two bath, at least so that when our wonderful friends and family come to visit, we'll have a place for them to stay! We have heard of a few different cities to look in and we got approved today to move things forward so at least we have a start. MH and the realtor will start looking at houses hopefully tomorrow or Friday and narrow down the possibilities so that I'm not missing too much work. Keep your fingers crossed that we find something amazing! And affordable :-)

Our biggest hang up is time. We have exactly one month to find a place to live. If we don't find a place, it's going to be an incredibly expensive month for us next month, so that's not really an option. I'll just keep the faith that our MKE dream home is waiting for us right now! I'm curious to know if MKE will ever feel like home. Will I ever miss it? Hmm, we'll see.

Positive Milwaukee Note: I love cheese. This just might be the state for me.
