LADIES and Gentleman...

fits 98% of our needs.. no garage

but phew, with the $$$ we can save, we can 

make it our OWN!! YESSS

Woohoo

Here we come home decorating!!:)

Thank you for all your help, advice and support

We really can't thank our family and friends enough!

Grown Ups....

At least we are feeling it VERY much right now. 

I guess i wasn't expecting what being a "grown up" was about..

between finding the "Mr. Right", getting into a good college

learning how to live, and create my own standards

and reaching for those accomplishments.

That's where we are today, right here..

looking for the next BIG accomplishment..

I guess the big ones of finding true love

finding a job

attempting to support ourselves

battling medical issues and failures

getting married

are all past us or currently with us..

dang medical issues..

but anyways..

Here we are, seriously considering a HOUSE.

Yes people, not the game you play with a basketball

with an attempt to not suck to bad as a sport

but an actual, 

walls-sinks-roof-basement

type of House. 

We have thought long and hopefully hard enough, 

we have brought out family in to take a look

we have thought about looking more

and not liking what we are seeing,

trying to comprehend what expenses we might have 

IN CASE 

something happens... but here it is

we are writing the list of items we need to include on our 

FIRST OFFER for a HOUSE. 

If only they gave you manuals to buy your first 

BIG Girl House.. you know

those pink and purple Barbie houses..

yes, if in fact i had that earlier i might have prepared myself for 

something, like..

an offer. 

But alas, here we are. 

We never imagined how drained we'd be, working hard and long, trying to pin point

this whole house thing, and feeling 

100% happy with our

decision.

Please Pray, Think, Cross your Fingers,

Hope and Wish that this is

the start of a wonderful adventure in our life

and that we are picked to love this home and to make it our own

with sweat, love, tears, maybe some screams and of course

a little swearing(lets hope not, but seriously... i'm being realistic)

that this can be THE HOME for us

at this stage in our life. 

Until tomorrow....

lately....

its been rather busy around here...

I know everyone says, "If you think your busy

wait until you have kids.."

but this is US busy..

We have both been working over 8 hours if not 12-14 for the Mr. 

and as you remember from my last blog, 

we are looking at houses

which is FOR SURE a full time

commitment and job. 

We really want to find the one that fits us the BEST. Both with

price and bedrooms and functionality of

the space. 

This is exciting!

Last Sunday we looked at houses and found one that we really enjoyed.

We call it the 70s house. 

Its full of crazy wallpaper, bright-crazy pattern carpet

and you guessed it.. SHAG CARPET. 

Don't mention the super 1970s Bar. ..

well they called, and they really want it all back. 

Yeah. But the bones and love in this house are really great. 

Great yard, huge 2 car garage, deck... just the basement has

evidence of water, as in super water. 

If you aren't sure how much I DESPISE water in the basement, 

oh its huge. 

but knowing theres a huge chance we can fix it next summer

makes it bearable! 

Anyway, after talking about it and then thinking about looking at other house which are newer

i looked, i looked and looked. I then found this gem.

a little newer...by 12 years at 1934!!! but the house looks..

as Grandpa Kimler said.."promising"

Now we just have to figure out what we want..

and that our offer gets accepted. 

Please hope, pray, cross your fingers that we are able to 

make a decision, write an acceptable offer and then 

become first time home buyers!!!

Hopefully we can do this. 

Otherwise, we sleep. Work, House hunting, SLEEP. 

every once in a while when I get home to cook dinner, i then cook. 

haha
