A quick peak at the house

Following are 3 little videos that I made of the house the first time I went to see it, Astrid was with me because she was home sick and my mom came along for fun, and good times and to help me see if it was any good since most everything we have looked at so far was not. Jed was at work and this house looked promising but we had very little time to put in an offer so we had to go right then.

I still have no idea how we got this house you get a brief glimpse in the back ground of a guy in the drive way, who walked in right when we were done looking and wanted Nancy (our real estate agent) to show him the house as well She went mother hen on him. She basically told him very politely to go away and not bother to come back because I was going to get this house! I like having an agent who really looks out for me!

I have watched a total of 3 different groups of people coming into the house, after we already had our home inspection people were still coming in and I was starting to feel a little possessive but Nancy assures me that I have nothing to worry about and that HUD (government agency who we are buying it from) are just taking their time changing the listing status.

Big Changes!

BIG CHANGES!

We are having a baby the first week of July and we are in the process of buying a house! I get wonderfully useless when i am pregnant and so for the last several months I have been MIA Sorry about that!

A few things we will be working on as far as baby goes, is trying to be more enviromentaly friendly. We are talking both the nature, world, save the whales kinda environmentally friendly and also the home environment Home environment Especially is more friendly when we are not spending a fortune on something that goes straight in the trash so we are seriously considering cloth diapering. Well if that does not sound ambitious enough my dear mother and I are also planning to try to make the diapers our selves because we are just that crazy! Let's see how it all works out!

House! 

House house house!

We are buying a HUD home so that basically boils down to buying a normal house but instead of a person or even a bank owning it, it is own by the government! And anytime you are dealing with the government...... well it is certainly a learning experience!

Last time we bought a house it was the old fashioned way, from a regular person and it was so much simpler. Assuming everything goes according to plan we'll be moving in a few months or less.

Things I love about the house  6! yep I said  6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

bedrooms! halleluiah!

And it is only 5 years old so there are not any big stuff wrong with it. We had a very thorough inspection done and everything is looking pretty good, the house has been vacant for a long time so it is filthy and needs a ton of small stuff that does add up BUT it is so much better than just about everything else we have looked at and it is so much bigger, we are getting just under 2300 square feet of space ! yay! 

It is far from my dream home but considering our limitations and options I'm extremely pleased.

A few things i would do differently. The floorplan. it is odd and I wish i could pick up the house and shake it about and rearange everything. I wish the yard was bigger. I wish the area it is located in was nicer including the schol that the kids in theory will be attending, and I wish there was a real grocery store somewhere close.I have not found anything other than strange looking corner stores so far, and a bunch of auto repair places.

Big Stuff! More details to follow!
