house hunters

we started house hunting this past weekend. i love love love looking at houses from the ones we can afford to the ones we definitely cant! =) i think for the most part we have come to somewhat of an agreement to what we want in a house...the one thing we both agree on is we want to make sure its an investment opportunity. Meaning, not really a move in perfect ready house. we want something that needs a little TLC, so once its time to move we can make a lil extra dinero (money for all you non spanish people). Danny is all about a "fixer upper!" i prefer the term "restoring." I also prefer just having to re do or upgrade a few easy cosmetic things, like wood floors, paint or carpet...my sweet hubby prefers making a shack look like a mansion! Gotta love his aspirations! We also want to live near a sought out school district (again making it easier to re-sale!) My wish list consist of having some sort of extra room that could possibly be a play room/learning school room especially since we are considering on homeschooling for preschool & possibly kindergarten...considering...not yet decided. Once were in a home i really am excited about starting a very routine schedule with hudson that consist of a having "school time" once he drops his morning nap and other baby is napping! So having an extra small area for a desk, books, & other school related items like his art easel would be nice! Another must on my wish list is to have a park within walking distance or some sort of walking path or a neighborhood with a sidewalk! If your stay at home mom...you know how much this is needed! I also wouldn't mind being close to the public library & a chick fila! Hey its my wish list, i'm allowed to be picky! =)

Dannys wish list: price, location & fixer upper.  thats my husband...straight to the point, knows exactly what he wants and keeps it simple (in his head at least)!  gotta love him! =)

It's really exciting to be on this little buying a house journey, we know the Lord will have his hand in things bc were asking him to! So were not too worried about the process, but a bit anxious to find the "one!" Its so fun getting updates from our realtor on new house postings and searching realtor.com hourly daily. which reminds me....i should go do some searching ;)
