The House Hunt

So yeah, the house we went and looked at was really cool but it needed about $30,000 worth of renovations and tons and tons of time to do it all. Normally I would be up to renovating a house, but right now I think it is very unrealistic! It was fun to go look at it and think about all the things we could have done.

After thinking about it and talking to our realtor we decided that we want to buy a house that is move in ready and that only will need a little work. Right now, with the baby and Kyle studying and taking acturial exams it is just more pratical for us to do it this way. We are going to take our time to find the right one. I can't wait to move into a house but I'm willing to wait until we find the one that will work for us. This is what we (well I) want:

• 3 to 4 bedrooms
• 2 baths
• Preferably a house with a little bit of character
• a nice neighborhood, a mature neighborhood
• Harrison or McCutcheon school district
• a nice yard but one that doesn't need a ton of work to keep it up
• a garage for Kyle
• and most importantly: something that can be a HOME

I always have anxiety about house hunting. It is exciting but buying a house is such a huge deal. It is a lot of money to be spending. We want to do it wisely. I pray that we'll find something that we'll love.
