Yes, we are growing up :)
We are looking to buy our first house..yikes!
Its kinna feeling like the right time, so we are initiating the steps to proceed with a home purchase in the next few months.
We have been pondering and looking around for the last couple of weeks or so. We have looking at the new builders, the new neighborhoods and such. We also went and spent about 5 hours on Saturday with a realtor looking at pre-owned.
The second place we saw was "it." It was tears in my eyes perfect, including the price.
We called the realtor in charge of the house with a question and found out it was under contract...:( I was sad.
So, that that we wish that sweet family any ill, but.... :)
Anyways..we are looking, learning and having momentary moments of sheer confusion and panic occasionally.
So, any tips? I will keep you posted.

I feel ya. We also lost our "perfect house" the same way. Just too slow. I'm still hurting over that. But God has his ways. Gabe wouldn't be going to the school that he is if we had gotten that other house, I wouldn't have had the incredibly awesome neighbors that I have now. I might not be in love with my house, but I love what my house gives me. People will always be more important than that "perfect house."
I agree with Cryssy...and speaking of perfect neighbors, well, we happen to know this awesome couple who live at 189 Moon Dance Ln, and the house next door to them is for sale currently. Maybe not a dream home, but as for dream neighbors....seriously!
Um, seriously, there is a house about a block away from you..love it on the internet. We have plans to go see it asap. MAY have something to do with the neighbors, MAYBE :)
Just enjoy the process! It is really fun...I had to remind myself "be realistic, Lindsey!!" There are many beautiful homes out there, but gotta find what works for your family and your budget!
I agree with Lindsey, have FUN!!! Its so much fun. I know the money stuff is hard but the lookin is so much fun. Remember God is in control and you are going to be where He wants you. There is a house a couple doors down from me for sale and I know for sure THATS where God wants you. : ) Happy lookin and be sure to keep me informed. I wish I was there. :(
No ... No ... there is a house down the road from ME that's for sale and I'm sure THAT'S where God wants you to live. =0) So sorry the house you wanted fell through ... have been there ... but I bet there must be an even better one waiting for you.
Been there, done that...been there, done that...been there, done that...many times!
And each time I thought, why oh why, this was IT, I just KNOW IT.
And then the next house was a better house, and even more important, a better situtation.
Each time we've looked, I would pray that if this was THE HOUSE, that He would let it happen- BUT, if He saw ANY reason why this house would NOT bring us joy and blessings, then PLEASE "close the door" to it!
Has worked EVERY time....God is so good!!
