The House Search

I love watching HGTV. I especially like the house search shows. However, I think maybe I should stop watching. HGTV makes looking for a house often look oh, so easy. And the people on the show are oh, so picky about the things they want in a house. Looking for a new house should be fun, right? I'm starting to think it isn't so fun.

Right now we live in one side of a duplex that we own. There are only two bedrooms and since kid #4 is coming, there isn't a whole lot of growing space. We need a new place! So, we've already rented out BOTH sides of our duplex starting August 1. This means that we HAVE to find a new place to live before then. Oh, the pressure! But we can't be picky like the people on HGTV. There are some things that we want....things we might even consider "must have's" that we will have to give up. Because a house that has everything we want has one thing we don't want-a price tag that we can't afford. Yeah, I'm not too into the house search right now.

You know that feeling when you walk into a house and you think...this is it! This is the one! It is perfect for our family. I haven't had that feeling. I'm just praying the perfect house-at the perfect price-will come along soon.

On a happy note, Sophia turns 2 today! She is very excited about having cake and ice cream. And she is my first child that is potty trained (well, half way) before turning two! Whoo-hoo!

There is a house on our street for sale, I actually have no idea how much it costs but it looks cute on the outside and we'd be neighbors:)
