We're staying Housey!!

We put our house on the market yesterday. We found this great house down the street that we fell in love with. We did everything we should.. got pre-approved.. put in an offer.. and had our first showing last night. I didn't realize this was going to happen so quick. My husband met with our mortgage broker this morning, and after talking with him, we took our house off the market and withdrew our offer on the great house down the street.
We could have afforded this house, but that would have been it. There would be no more family camping trips, or birthday dinners with the girls.. clothes.. shoes.. all that! In the end, that great house would have owned us, at least for a while anyway. We've decided to try to do an addition, and give us and the boys bigger bedrooms (they're tiny!) That would make more sense, and definitely be affordable.. I would have hated to tell my oldest son that we were moving.. he calls our house "housey".. he could never have left it!
