we have been looking for a house since may. we probably started talking about it in march, but our lender approved us for funding, etc., in may and the house hunt began in earnest. i should say, "my obsessive, incessant observation of listingbook.com began in earnest," because i hunt for houses online far more than we do in person. we've been to see lots of houses, made four offers, backed away from one and been disappointed by one house that really stole our heart. in hindsight, it was for the best, but my heart still constricts when I think about that house.
the thief in all of her glory
now, we're in a multiple-offer situation on a house that may or may not be "the one." thinking of the necessary funding, etc., is scary - but throwing money at an apartment that will never belong to us is equally scary. nevertheless, it'll work out - even if our house hunt goes on the back burner until some little beauty meets our extremely specific criteria, which is mostly dictated by price and school. sure, it will be nice when mcclain has his own room (and we have ours!), and when zach has somewhere other than the kitchen table on which to spread his school paraphernalia (and i have somewhere other than the floor), but in the meantime, our loft is home sweet (small) home, and we are loving having our little boy here in this space!
