K and I went house shopping today. This is the first step to--hopefully--getting a new home built two years from now. I hope our marriage can survive. There will be TONS of compromising and my giving in to what he wants, but I think it will all be worth it if we can get the deal done.
The house we are in now is old--and not in the best condition. It was moved here from another location and there is definite structural damage--and it is next to impossible to fix. We love our location, so we will have this place torn down and put up a new house in its place. I am actually letting myself get a bit excited--we have talked about this for years and it looks like it might finally be able to happen. Yet, I will be a bit sad to see this house go--we raised our girls here and it holds lots of memories. BUT, there are very bitter, sad memories here along with the good, so it might not be such a bad idea to have a fresh start.
On first look, we REALLY liked the model home--with the upgrades that were done--so we have a starting point. LOTS to think about over the next year or two! Here is the house we saw today:
Of course, this is just a starting place. For one, The floor plan wouldn't work on our lot the way we would like unless it was flip-flopped in different ways. But this is all the kinds of things we will have to figure out. How much fun is this?
