Finding My Way Home

House Finding

Here is post from my other blog.  We couldn't decide between two houses:

We couldn't decide between the two, and I told hubby that I really felt he needed to be the one to hear from God on this one.  I was biased, because of the price.  He was biased because of the land.  So, he said he wanted the one with 7 acres.  I said, ok.  That's fine.  It is a smaller house, but we will make it work.  So we emailed our real estate agent and told her we would bid on it.  The next day, hubby calls me up and says, "I don't think we should get that house".  Umm... ok.  So we decided to go re-see those two houses and one other one again.  Our reservation was storage.  Even though the seven acre house had 9 outbuildings, the entire house only had 3 closets.  3 bedrooms, 3 closets, one wasn't even in the bedroom.  And because it was high priced, it would be a while before we could add on.  So, we call our real estate lady and left a message and said we wanted to see those houses.  We asked our moms to come with us to help us make a decision and we arranged baby sitting for the older kids.  Not even an hour later, hubby says, "Let's just bid on the 2 acre house.  We don't need to see them again."  Ooookkkkaaayyyy.....  That actually made me relived and happy deep down inside which then made me realize that that was the house I really wanted.  It has 4 bedrooms, 6 closets, and a storage attic.  And it's cheaper.  Phew... So we once again call our real estate agent.  This time hubby talks to her.  He apologizes for us being crazy people, but she completely understands... so she says....  

So I am so excited and happy, because I love that house.  All I want to do is pack!  But, like I said, we have to sell this house first......

My hubby actually had a good analogy.  He said the 7 acres and the buildings were so nice and he wanted it sooo bad, he was trying to force us being able to live there.  We didn't quite fit, though.  And it never felt right.  He said it was just like sin.  You know it's not right, but it's just so tempting that you're willing to look over the bad to get the good.
