Our house will officially be listed on the MLS system today. We decided to list it at $219,900. We're crossing our fingers that showings and ultimately an offer comes in soon!
I've been all house talk lately. We do have other things going on. The kids started their summer sports this week. It's so cute to watch them learn how to catch or learn the rules of soccer or run around the field with a football tucked under their arm.
A neighbor girl of ours is five years old and has had 6 open heart and lung surgeries due to a birth defect. She's scheduled for her next surgery this fall to replace a valve with a custom made one just for her. My daughter plays with this little girl daily and we've grown to love the family and their daughter. Coming up on the 26th is a Heart Walk and they've asked all their family and friends (including us) to join them. In order to attend, it will cost our family $80 in walk entrance fees or $90 if we sign A and J up for the kids fun run. That is expensive to us. I've been waffling about signing up. But then I think about this little girl and her enormous heart problems and I feel so incredibly grateful for my healthy children. I would give every physical possession of mine and all the money in the bank to keep them healthy. Is $90 too much to help with research to help other little kids like our neighbor? I'm leaning towards no.

Actually, i believe that 90 usd is not that much since you earned so much money lately and that your raise was so much higher than expected.
I mean 90 is a lot, but for such a thing, I believe it can be done.
it is such a beautiful thing to do for someone you love
take care

My 5 yr old daughter has a neurological condition that is so unusual that there is no big foundation to donate to. I wish I could help organize or be involved in some fund raising for research to help treat or possibly cure my daughter's condition and I would be eternally grateful if my friends and neighbours pitched in with donations. So, my vote goes to "YES" - sign up and donate $80 or $90!
Good luck with the house! I hope it's leads to success. I also hope your neighbors with the sick little girl have health insurance. I can't imagine how devastating that would be to have to pay out of pocket while dealing with such difficulties.
