come out come out wherever you are!!

I have a feeling this year is going to go by in a blur. It's hard to believe it's already mid March. Spring has sprung around here, all my little flowers are peeking up outta the ground and starting to bloom. All my little birdies are flocking in their usual trees and singing their songs. The temperature is getting above 70 twice this week! And I..... am forever and always, house hunting. It's become our profession. We are professional house hunters. It's just what we do now. Every minute of every day. Every weekend and every evening. We're reading every paper, checking all the websites daily, driving hundreds of miles (no exggaeration) every week looking for houses. Sometimes a hundred miles in a single weekend!

We study them, draw them, dream them, talk them, think them. My whole mind set has changed since we first started looking. You start out wanting this and that and it just HAS to have this...and then reality sets in and your priorities start shifting and lessening a little. It's been so frustrating and eye opening. I knew it would be tedious but I'm starting to get impatient I think. I need to take a step back and focus on something else for a minute. I don't want to settle for something just because I'm tired of looking. Our house still hasn't sold so we're not in a hurry. Moving in with my parents is always an option if the house was to sell and we hadn't found something, so there's no need to be hasty.

I want a house that we can make our own. Not one that's brand new, move in ready. I always seem drawn to the houses that need some work but have a neat layout to them. The ones that don't look like all the others. And I know my one is out there waiting. I just have to find it!
