You're probably sick of my house hunting, I know I am

So as of now, we've seen right around 30 houses. Holy Crap. It doesn't end when I go to bed either. In my dreams I am looking at houses. What about these closets, floors, cabinet space, laundry room, garage size, yard size, location, bathrooms, ceilings? It's exhausting. But, we are getting closer. Last night we looked at 4 and saw two that we would actually consider making bids on. Hooray! Of course we cannot find one with all of the requirements we would like. These 2 would be sacrificing for a smaller yard, but at least they have grass and enough room for the trampoline. Also, they just aren't any closer to my folks. It would be great to be a few miles closer to my family, especially with the new baby coming. But as hard as I look, nothing in our price range with a decent garage and newer than 1990 is by them. But, what can you do. I like older houses with character, but Trent has quite a good argument about the quality of homes in our price range that are older and the extra expense of cooling and heating with older windows and that kind of thing. So I have 8 or 9 more houses I want to see by Monday or Tuesday and then I think we will be making an offer or two. Thanks for reading my boring post. That's what has been occupying 90% of my thoughts these last weeks.

ah man! i was totally hoping you would end up closer to us! oh well, you will end up with a nice house that you don't have to fix up, which will be best considering you are about to have a new baby.

I'm sorry you have to move when you're big with child again. At least you'll get to move into a place that you can paint and decorate however you want. That's the best part of home ownership, I think.

p.s. Since I have such a big say in your baby naming, I would just like to say that I rank Milo & Davis on the top of the list. And if Jake was voting, he'd pick Davis, cause he likes it, but it doesn't work with our last name.

I hate those dreams where you relive your daily grudgery and wake up tired!
