If first you don't sucseed, try and try...and try...and try..again..

Well another season has come and gone and we are STILL looking for a house. Right now, we are currently waiting on word from our fourth offer!! And if this house is a no-go, then we have our 5Th house offer on the back burner waiting to be submitted. I know our house is out there and we just need to be patient and it will come. And we have been patient, after all it's been 2 years and a gillion houses. Well, maybe not a gillion, but at least a good 100. I'm just praying this is finally the house.

I feel that everything happens for a reason. I think of the other houses we've seen. Some I think we should have offered on, some that had weird vibes, some that were NASTY. It makes me wonder how people can live like that. The three other houses we've offered on were all so different from each other. The first house, was a 4 bedroom 2.5 bath 2 car garage HUD home. We were outbid by $25,000. over asking price. We didn't have a chance. And although we liked it, we did have some issues with it, there was more front yard then backyard and every appliance.

The second house, was smaller 3 bedroom 1.5 bath spit level. There was another offer that beat us. But again, we did have some issues, only 1.5 bath and everything needed updating (it still had blue 1950's bathroom).

The third house was even smaller but had 3 bedrooms 2.5 bath a HUGE yard with a workshop and nice updated kitchen. There was already an offer submitted when we looked at it and the bank was waiting to hear back on their counter offer. We went ahead and submitted at FULL PRICE, but the first offer accepted the banks counter offer. And once again, after the fact I mentioned we did have issues, it was the farthest away with really, really small bedrooms.

This fourth house seems very nice. It's a good size in a nice neighborhood. It's been on the market since January and they just reduced there price the first of the month. Our realtor said the listing agent didn't seem to positive with our offer since it was just reduced. But we do have another house that we have an offer written up for just in case. I really do pray that this is the house for us though. I don't really have any issues that I can think of with this house. I hope this is the one. I can really imagine myself in this house for a long time. .

Keeping my fingers crossed.

It's 12:31 am...
...and I wonder why I've been so tired lately?

I want to get more into my blog. I want to look back someday and remember all the little happenings of my life. I love reading other people's blogs and the happenings of there lives. But I always wonder what to write about, I feel like I need a theme. So, I've decided to make myself accountable to my blog. I'm going on a diet. I am rather overweight. Now, some of my wonderful family and friends might say I'm not and that I've just had a baby, but the sad matter of fact is that I am 153lbs. I'm only 5 foot 2 1/2 inches. That is overweight. Actually that is considered obese. Now, that I have posted my weight on here, I HAVE to be accountable! I have to get back on here and say I've lost some weight. I just can't keep that I'm 153lbs on here for the next 5 months! So, I'm going to use this as my daily journal of my eating and exercising. Along with all the little happenings of my life, for my memories and your enjoyment!
