This week we finally, FINALLY started our for realz search for a house. I have mixed feelings. Although I've had plenty of time to mentally prepare myself for this, years of driving around pretty much every neighborhood in the county lusting after various houses hasn't actually given me a true idea, in my head, of what is actually an option for us.
Here is what I have discovered:
I have big eyes.
Yup, this should not come as a surprise to me, yet for some reason I am still a little disappointed at the grandiose new house castles I let myself build in my head. Dammit, why do I have to have such nice taste?
Sigh.
The truth is, we are going to have plenty of house for what we need. But I would like a big house that's already nicely made up. Turns out I can check one of those boxes a) big, or b) upgraded & nice.
Today we toured a rather large house that would be just about perfect, p-e-r-f-e-c-t for our needs. Great neighborhood, great school district, room for the kids, my sewing, entertaining, etc. So, maybe we are total nincompoops, but we went ahead and put our bid in, because this place is going to move FAST.
It feels so WEIRD. Just weird.
The inside, to be honest, looks like total sh!t. I know that after a tiny bit of love it could and will look very nice, but I don't see that in my head. In my head I see yucky dirty carpet, marked up white walls, and chipped tile counter tops. Kinda hard to get excited about that, no?
Eh, I leave it up to God.
