The House Hunt.

& let the house hunting begin. Well we have actually been looking for about a week now. Today we are meeting with our realtor to see some more possibilities. One of the biggest problems I have is the fact that I am not patient. With this house I have been narrowing down the location we want to live which is horrible because now I'm stuck in a location that there might not be a house in our price range for awhile. We have decided, though, that we could in fact see ourselves in a fixer upper and possible make a buck or two. Today, we are looking at a BIG time fixer upper. We actually think someone could have died or something in this house because there are vines growing up the trees and the house and the bushes in the back are extremely over grown. But I guess we'll see! The good this about my husband & I is we can see potential in things. Even though, I'm not sure if he is a handy man and we would probably be doing majority of the work ourselves, we know how to Google! So wish us luck! The people I've talked to so far it has taken them about 3-5 months to find a house. I'm hoping for a month. ;)

A House to Make Our Own.

This year all I really want is a house!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo sick of apartments. The thing I'm really most excited for is house hunting. Of course, I tend to look at house 24/7 now but actually looking at them in person is what I want. As any women (& possibly some men) I have a growing list of the things I want/need in our house. Things that over the years I've learned we need & other things that I've actually learned we can live without in our house.

Our musts: 

A fireplace

At least 3 bedrooms

An island in the kitchen

An open concept to the layout

A garage

Large master closet

Things we can live without:

A formal dinning room

Two floors

So maybe the musts are more than the can live withouts but hey doesn't every first time buyers have that problem. Ha ha. Lets just cross our fingers...
