The buying of a house is one of the biggest decisions one can make.
You can say that again! We've been looking at houses since April of this year, and still don't have one. Some may say we're being overly picky, but I say we're being intelligently selective. It's not like we're setting our standards too high. We know what we need, and what we can afford-the right house just hasn't come our way. We actually have an offer on the table for a really nice house here in town. Problem is it's a short sale. So we're dealing with a bank that is taking its sweet time in handling our offer. We really want this house, and it's a perfect setup for several years out, with room to expand the family. That being said, we're still looking. Saw two this evening that on paper looked appealing, but aren't really what we need. If pushed came to shove, I think either one would work, but we don't have to move right now, so why settle for something that simply "works"? Praying for movement in this aspect of life, especially as I have the next month without school. I'd love to move between now and January 15th.
On the Grayson front, he loves seeing Judy ("JuJu"), our real estate agent. She had a great time watching him while we walked through those houses tonight. He's been waking up these last few nights crying out- 5 new teeth have broken through and three are on their way. Poor guy.
Jennifer is wrapping up this semester- Friday is the last day. It's been chaotic this week, with her trying to get grades done, and exams made. Maybe that'll be me next year.
Oh, big plans tomorrow night! We're going to see "the lights" about 20 minutes from our house. I don't think there's a website, but it's a private home that goes all out, with several acres of lights, music, Christmas decor, and Santa. Usually near the top of the list on national Christmas displays. We're looking forward to it. I expect Grayson to have a blast.
It would seem that I'm getting sleepy. Did quite a bit these last two days, so tomorrow should be fairly relaxing.

Good luck! We've looked around at some too, but not seriously because we know its gonna be awhile before we're ready to do that. This duplex thing we're about to move into is def a step up though so I'm not complaining at all. We're figuring we'll be there about a year or two and then prob start looking for our own home.
Hope Grayson's teeth situation gets better soon. That's never fun. I'm glad we only have two more left to deal with (the top 2 year molars).
Have fun tomorrow!
