(This is one of my favs. Even comes with a hot tub...not sure if thats good or bad. I have never had to take care of one. But the idea sounds nice right?)This last month I have been consumed with house hunting. It was mostly online but since Wednesday I have been in Ohio looking at homes....all day long...all by myself. I chose to do it this way, but it has been harder than I thoguht it would be. My body and mind are spent. It is a little overwhelming to be in charge of such a big decision. I don't want Nate to think I am crazy for picking a certain house. I have taken a ton of pics and video (thanks to my fantastic mil who let me borrow her i-phone) so I have at least been able to keep Nate included that way. P.S. I want an i-phone.:) Luckily I have found 5 homes that I think we could be happy in. The problem now is trying to figure out which one I like most. Of course you have to weigh the pros and cons since at our price range we won't be getting our dream home. I can't complain though because for a first home I think we are getting something fantastic. I think I have my #1 but I am scared to go for it full throttle because the other houses have things I like that this one doesn't. Of the 5 houses I like I have been through all of them 3 times. Each one has things I love, and things I don't so much love. But non of them have things I hate. I think I am also scared to get to attached to a house in the case that it doesn't work out. The other hard decision is trying to figure out what area I want to be in. All the houses are in fantastic locations, just different.
Decisions, Decisions!!!
I am hoping by Tuesday I will be able to blog about being a home-owner. Wish us luck!!!

YAY, I'm so excited for you, guys! We also had a Top 5, and we could have seen ourselves living in all 5 houses. In the end, we just went with the biggest house for the fewest $$$. Good luck! I am sure Nate and the kiddos will love whichever house you decide to put an offer on.
I wish I was there house hunting with you. Actually what I really wish is that you would have left your cute girls with us! Bob can sing them goofy song and they can come home and tell you we are really big nerds:)
Good luck!! It is so exciting, yet so scary. I hope you get the one you really want!
