Hey, all! I'm dropping in to say that we have been a bit preoccupied lately because we are starting our home search! Woo hoo! I can't possibly express how excited I am! We've been feeling all sorts of growing pains lately...three people and one bathroom equals a very unhappy household. Plus, we really need to have a garage for our vehicles. We are extremely tired of parking outside with only a car-cover to protect us from the world. Although we are blessed to have what we have, there comes a time when you just know that (if you can) you really need to look for another home.
This all started about 6 weeks ago or so, when I found myself visiting Zillow and Realtor.com to see what might be available in our city. Lots and lots of homes in our area are short sales and foreclosures, with only a handful of properties being sold directly. Then, one morning while sipping my coffee, I logged into Zillow and up pops a home that was "suggested" because of my previous search criteria. This home was perfect!! It was absolutely 100% ready to move into, with everything that was on our wish list. I texted my husband and was excited to hear that he was interested, and he asked me to look into it. Next thing you know, my mother and I had an appointment for a private viewing. We went and loved it even more than the pictures could show.
Fast forward another week and we are gearing up for our pending move. We missed out on the "dream home" that I wanted, but we are laser-focused on finding another one (maybe even better!) There's a tremendous amount of work to be done, and of course all the daily work & chores, but it feels great to know how close we are to moving on. I will be adding more cards and scrapping fun as time allows, but if I'm not around as much over the next month or two, you'll know why :-)
