House hunting and babies

Well this is my first blog. I was driving to work this morning and out of the blue decided I wanted to create a blog. My life is far from interesting but I wanted a blog anyway. It's a good place to express all my thoughts. Maybe not the most private place but it works for my needs.

So Doug and I just started looking at houses this week. The first house we looked at on Monday was a foreclosed home in Union. It looked really nice from the outside from far way so we called our realtor to get a closer look at it. Let me tell you it is not at all what I expected. Upon walking inside I knew right away it is not what I wanted not to mention it was very small with no basement and only one bathroom. We got done looking at the inside and went to look at the outside more. The more we looked the more structural damage we found. Plus they had recently re sided it so we figured they were probably trying to cover up more problems with the house.

So after the first disappointment we decided to look at more houses on Tuesday. The first house we looked at on Tuesday we really liked. It is a split foyer in Union with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a 2 car garage.

It is perfect for our size needs. The kitchen could be a little bigger but other than that it's great. We would have to build a deck onto the back because the guy that owns it now tore it off and was going to build it back on but never got around to it. He has a few other unfinished projects also but he started to fix it up and it is starting to look great. It is a little more than we were wanting to pay so we are going to put an offer on it in a few weeks and see if he accepts. In the meantime we are going to look at other houses just to make sure this is the one we want. Currently there are no other houses in our price range and location that we haven't already looked at.

So enough with the house stuff. We are still kind of trying for a baby. My cycle is a little off because I found out I was pregnant and then lost it. So I don't know if we will be able to conceive this month. The more I think about it though the more I am okay with that. I've kind of been thinking of waiting till about August or when we are moved into a house. All I know is I definitely want a baby sometime in 2009. So we still have a lot of time.

I guess that's all I have to say for now. Updates on the house situation to come....
