Thinking & Waiting

So, I'm definitely digging the blogging thing. Its like having a diary that anyone can read...kinda defeats the purpose of a diary, haha, but its a lot of fun. I don't know if anyone even reads it or will read it, but I enjoy making it pretty and putting my thoughts down. I'm just bored at the moment, doing laundry. My husband is on his way to Bakersfield, so I'm just trying to keep busy.

As for the update on buying the house a few doors down from my mothers, not going to be able to buy that one. The owner's are not able to keep the house, they are already falling behind on the mortgage payments so they want to sell it out right...no options and they are putting it on the market with in the next week hoping to sell it immediately, they cant hold it for a few months and we wont have the money for a down for at least a few months. However, tomorrow we are going to go look at a few houses. We went to Remax yesterday and let me tell you what...they are amazing. They are so professional, helpful, and personable. We spoke with Terry, she found a few houses in our price range that are worth taking a look at. Basically, all we have to do is come up with the down payment and then we will be on our way. That should only take us about 3-4 months. However, we can start buying a house in about 2 months because then we can just put $1,000 towards it to hold it until it hits escrow. So, thank god we stopped by Remax, we would have never thought that we could purchase a house so soon. It would figure though, our neighbors that we don't care for so much is moving...maybe our complex will be quieter...then again, could be worse...either way we would really like to buy a house and have something we can call our own. We want to have the investment, not to mention be able to do as we please with it. We want to have a pet so bad, but unfortunately we cant have any in this town house. So, wish us luck everyone...I think things will work out just fine. The way we see it is if we don't get a house right away, better options will arise and we will find the house of our dreams and have an even larger amount set aside for the down. Id say that we are pretty smart individuals. ;)
