Find a house that I am truly happy in

my level best to be happy here, while keeping my eyes open. Facing some of the demons connected with this place.

I found a house online that really looked great and was very affordable. I immediately sent an e-mail, but had no response. So this Monday I drove past and saw people there – and thought damn, it’s sold. So I sent another e-mail about it, and today the owner responded saying that they were expecting an offer within the next 2 days, but if things fell through they’d contact me for a showing.

I hate to wish anyone to NOT get the house, but I think I want it. I’ll keep watching this listing, anyway…

Poor Eldest Daughter and her hubby keep putting in bids on houses in CA and losing out, too. We went through 3 houses with them, they tried to bid on the 2nd, and sure enough – were just too late. :(

to 2 open houses today, but neither one will work. Middle Daughter was kind enough to join me, since Hubby wouldn’t.

I found an older house at a great price near our first house. There’s an open house Sunday which I plan to drag my spouse to. Kicking and screaming if necessary. I paved the way this morning by mentioning seeing the listing.

our current house is nice and meets our needs bedroom and bathroom-wise, etc., it is really more than I want to continue to spend on mortgage and especially real estate taxes. And though it has some really great memories, it also has had the most nightmarish events occur in it. I think I need to go elsewhere to get any kind of a fresh start.

I spent some time online during lunch break again today checking out listings. If it were just me, this would be easy, but it’s not.

The thought of moving everything we’ve accumulated is almost more than I can bear, though! You always think you won’t become a packrat like your parents, but …

this house will never make me truly happy. But I am going to keep if for a while and put some effort into the yard. After I get my small loans paid for in about 2 years I will look again, hopefully the economy will be better then.

It’s hard to go fom this to town…but I am working on finding a place that will be home.
