{ It's snowing }
This was a shocker...I didn't think I would ever see this in Alabama. What a treat. How unexpected! We all had a great time in the snow...while it lasted. It never did stick on the ground...but I'm not complaining. I was happy for what we got. I love the snow....I really do.
Our house was on the market only 3 weeks....I guess you can say I am happy?? Well, more relieved. It is one major item checked off our TO-DO list. The best part of the contract is the new owners don't want to move in until after school is out. PERFECT. We will live in our own house until the day we drive away...no temporary housing for us. But, I am still not over that this will not be our house. Can you say "DENIAL"....I can.
We went out to Colorado and found a whole lot of nothing. Well, we did find a few houses that we liked....but no deals to be found. Isn't it a buyers market? I thought so. No one is budging on their asking price...which seem to be much higher than we both thought. I don't mind having to step up our price range. I know that we are going to a much more desirable location. I get that. I am excited about that....but in order for me to feel good about paying ( I can't even really say the number it hurts me too much) I have to love the house. We haven't found that yet. Found lots of houses that we liked bits a pieces of. We love that every house has a basement...love that we can see the breath taking view of mountains from almost everywhere...Don't love that we can't find an open floor plan. Does everyone want a formal living room and formal dining room? I would prefer neither....but I do have that dining room thanks to my big win on The Price Is Right. So, I can live with one formal room. I still want to take my house there! So, as of right now...we are still searching. We are searching for a house (doesn't have to be perfect) that house an open feel...nice kitchen that over looks a great room. A place to call a playroom to house the million little pieces otherwise known as toys. I love toys to have their own place to live, not in my living room. Wish us luck...and may the constantly heard phrase..."It's a buyers market" really be the truth.
