So what’s been happening?  I haven’t been blogging much lately.  I have been sooooo busy with this whole moving process.

We spent all of last Saturday and Sunday looking at houses.  On Saturday we saw three houses we liked.  On Sunday we didn’t see any so we went back to two from Saturday we liked.  Then later we took my parents and showed them our top two choices.  Everyone agreed on one house so we called our agent and said we wanted to make an offer.  We went in first thing Monday morning to make an offer on our favorite house.  While we were making the offer the other agent called and said they were getting another offer too.  The other offer was better, so we lost out on that house. 

Our second choice had some bad things about it that I didn’t notice because I loved the neighborhood and the house so much.  But it had some major things that would need to be fixed.  Plus it was next to an elementary school and my mom pointed out how loud that would be with the kids outside.  Our third choice had very high taxes.

So we looked a little more.  On Wednesday night this log home that we have been dreaming about that was out of our price range came way down in price.  So we went to look at it, sure that this was the one.  It wasn’t.  There were major issues.

We’ve decided to go back and make another offer on the very first house we tried to get a month ago, it’s still available.  Maybe if we raise our offer a little the sellers will come down a little.  If not we’ll be looking again.  Eventually we will find the right house, I know that.  But right now I am soooo frustrated.

Once we find the perfect house I am going to take pictures of it and create a postcard to send out to all of our family and friends.  They’ll be able to see our new house and get our new address.  You can do just that at VistaPrint- customize your own postcards.  I think it’ll be a fun way to let everyone know where we are and what our new home looks like.
