I am usually better on the blog, but things have been busy. We have looked at so many houses and have lived in the car for days. Driving around different neighborhoods and even cities. It is amazing how we are all so different and what some think is beautiful is hideous to others. I have gotten the attitude, I am not paying for that _____. Fill in the blank. Kitchen, bath, floor plan, steep drive way, etc.
Nathan was officially done looking yesterday. He was so naughty. We drove to about eight different houses yesterday and it was mutiny. We even put in a movie to watch and he just didn't want to be in the van and wanted things that I couldn't give him (his blanket aka Bubba). He was incorrigible. I have to admit I wasn't well prepared. We went out for lunch and thought that would be enough and didn't need snacks. Snacks keep the kids quiet and should have known better.
We decided after weeks that are quickly turning into months of looking that we are going to make an offer on one that we keep going back to. Mark has been in it three times, I have been twice. We go back to compare other houses to this one we like. It is the perfect house for us. We like the layout better than any we have seen. It has everything we need and a few perks. It is an older house and needs work (one of Marks perks). I don't mind the handy man special. It keeps my handy man busy and I feel like we get what we want when we do the remodel ourselves.
I like it despite it's disrepair. I can see the dimond in the ruff. We decided we are going to do the official paper work today for an offer. If it is meant to be it will all work out. If not there are plenty of other houses. We should know by Monday. If we get it I will post pictures.
