Dreaming...
We have been on the hunt for a house, that we will make our home.
We've been scouting, researching, watching, walking through.
It has been good for us.
A week ago we went and looked through 7 homes. We'd waited until my mom got here, because we thought that would be so much fun for her to do with us... and it was fun... then utterly deflating!
Matt and I thought that we'd quite possibly be ready to offer on a couple of houses.
Silly, silly us! After walking through the hopefuls we came home very dissapointed, and back to square one.
This past week had been conversation after conversation, this one had this feature, this one had that feature. Which one of the things we want do we give up? Do we give up on something? This is the final home we plan to be in... do you give up on things if this house is your final home? Are we picky? Could we do without this and that?
Yesterday we met with a builder, to look into that route.
We've been looking at lots to buy. I've not yet found our house, or so I think, but I'm very attracted to a couple of lots we've seen!
As I've looked at land, and thought that one acre may be enough for us, I've also kept in mind my long term dream to have land and horses. If we buy a home on an acre, then I still want to buy land later to have horses. How great would that be, though, to have your home AND your horses right there together?
I think people may read this and be surprised. It may be something people don't know about me.
This week I looked through these photos.
I don't know how things will go at this point. We intend to just hold tight and see what comes on the market in the spring before we make any decisions. We are in no hurry, there is no reason to be hasty!
It is important to remember what the goal is, what the dream is, what life we want to make for our family...
