I can't believe that we have put our condo on the market.. it's the worst time to sell but great time to buy. or is it? it's great for the people that will be making money on their current place. but for us life isn't perfect nor is it easy. but at least D and I can say we did it and we did it together. No one is giving us money for a down/deposit on a house like some couples get. Nor are we getting a new home as a gift.
we work for everything we have and buy. so as i am looking at what is available in what is our price range.. i am not so sure we'll get most of what we want. we may have to stay at mom's for 5 years to save money and deal with toilets that don't flush all the time. a dog that likes to eat poop and another that loves to bark. first thought is that i can only pray that my baby does not pick up any bad habits.
but whatever we buy we will know we did it. and it's all ours - okay well partially until we pay it off. but it's ours and we can call it home. i just want to start this part of our lives whenever we sell the condo. and move on and make the next home our home. put the E touches that i never did to our condo. because i always knew we were going to sell in 3-5 years. so i never attached myself... although when we do get to go home to the condo i realize how lucky we are. i honestly LOVE the condo. there's always a nice breeze and the condo maybe gets hot 3 days out of the year. the layout is great, there's so much light that comes in.... and our bathroom sizes our really nice.. as i realize after looking at other homes.
looking for a second home.. is easy and hard at the same time. easy because even if it's not the best of house we can see potential in what we can make the house. the first time i wanted everything perfect inside. just move in and be happy with everything. but now i am looking into what school district is this home in? is the area nice? can i jog in the morning or night without having D yell at me for going by myself? how much yard is there really? can this kitchen fit at least 3 ppl? can i see myself here in 30 years? how safe is it when you come into and out of the house area? is it easy to get to the home? and so on.....
last night was Fremont highs graduation.. and it made us really think do we want to live in this area where M would go to this high school? yes it's many years away but come on...?? do we? for the most part parents and guests were in t-shirts and jeans. need i say more?
