spencer and i have been looking at houses lately.
yesterday i was online and i came across "the one." it was as near perfect as i thought it could get, outside, inside, yard, finishes, location, on and on.
we drove by last night, and i daydreamed about it all day today. i kept picturing our family there, playing in the yard, walking to the park, putting the kids to bed, so tonight our realtor took us to see it.
i was in love, it was everything i knew it would be.
I WAS READY TO SIGN PEOPLE.
...then it went pending, closing date of july 5, 2011.
what? WHAT!
i was more than a little disappointed
(i may have cried the whole way home).
so many downer thoughts in my head
"we'll never find anything as good, and in our price range and in that neighborhood, and, and, and." i was seriously sad.
sad.
until,
i walked in the door and saw harrison sitting there in his highchair with a big grin on his face.
i picked him up, hugged on him, and he laughed and smiled and talked and like magic,
literal magic,
i felt better.

I totally know the feeling. House hunting can be so frustrating! Then that perfect house comes along that you just know was meant for you all along.
i am loving the new blog look! and hooray for your BIGGER pictures!
and dang it when can i see harrison?!
When we were buying our home our realtor gave some sound advise, 'don't get emotional over a home right away' I did nearly the same thing over a home and it was very disappointing when it didn't work out.
You will find the right house. Make it a business decision for your family, that changes things a little.
It is like magic! Magic that helps remind you life is about people and not things and that the Lord always sees the whole forest... we're just stuck in the trees. I hope you find your house. I know when we were looking the ones that didn't work out always seemed like the perfect place, but as of late I've come to realize it's not the house at all. It's about neighbors and the ward and the memories you'll create. It won't become home until you make it that. Good luck!!!!!! It's so hard!
