I considered buying every house we looked at - even if I had to completely stretch my imagination (and budget) to picture the house the way I would want it - just so that we could be DONE house hunting! But looking back, if I had picked one of the those houses I would have been disappointed because I would have been settling for less than I wanted. I know you want it to be over, but when you finally reach the end of the hunting and have found the perfect house it will be the most glorious feeling. I can say this because Johnne and I literally just put a house under contract and we couldn't be more excited! I never thought we would get here some days, but we did (in only about 4 months - even though it felt like forever)! Stay picky because I guarantee you will find the house you want and more!! ps- Sorry for the small novel. I just felt like you were saying everything I had felt/thought and got a little carried away :)Alicia Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10894487622430609354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5946196607756640445.post-45419836894675519232012-05-01T07:49:25.100-07:002012-05-01T07:49:25.100-07:00Very frustrating and long process...but WELL worth...Very frustrating and long process...but WELL worth it in the end...and just like you just "knew" Keith was the one for you and Manhattan was the college for you, you will get the SAME feeling when you find the house you are meant to live in.
