Our quest for the perfect home begins yet again...
As some of you are aware, Ben and I have been house hunting for the past couple of months. With the market in shambles and foreclosures left and right, you'd think we'd be able to find something! Wrong!! We have been looking primarily at foreclosures - great price, usually, may end up getting it for a steal.
Problem #1 with foreclosures - many time fixer-upers. No problem if you have a handy hubby like mine. Might even keep him outta trouble once in a while. (hee hee)
Problem #2 - multiple bid situation - the fact that we think the deal is great means other people do too. Stinks.
The house we had our eye on was a great house for a great price. Found out yesterday we didn't get it. Another person did - they probably had a better offer. I'm getting tired of looking!! I just want to find a home and settle. We'll make it ours. I don't need much, just a place to set up! As much as we love and appreciate the family members that have offered us a place to stay - thank you, thank you, thank you, we would not be where we are today without you! We love you to pieces! Nonetheless, everyone needs their own space. Goes without saying.
Oh, well. I know that perfect home is out there somewhere.

That stinks!! Don't worry, you'll find one. Josh and I made two bids in AZ and didn't get them (which turned out to be a blessing) and two here before we found our own "fixer-upper". I know yours is out there too!!
