House Hunting (Take 3)

Soooo I think I might have mentioned this before, but if I haven't, we *were* in the process of buying our first home. Everything was set to go and then due to reasons beyond any one's control, the property we wanted could basically only be purchased with cash. We do not have that much cash (relatively speaking in comparison to how much the property cost). So, we did could not buy the place we wanted. LAME.

Therefore, I (we, but let's face it: he works 60+ hours a week and I work maybe 25) am about to embark on house hunting take 3. Take 1 had us with a seller that declined our rather generous offer. Take 2 left you just read the conclusion to. Take 3 is off to a rocky start, but at least this time I've narrowed down where I want to live. Now I just have to find a place that fits our ever-so-strict requirements.

Things I am looking forward to: getting this done with for the next 4 years or so. Potentially having a place to decorate and make my own. Possibly finding a place with a pool.

Things I am not looking forward to: realtors, moving, and making an offer/loans/negotiating/etc.

Good think the ocean is near by and I've found a knitting store. I'm a gonna need me some stress relief and nothing spells stress reliever like ocean breeze and a ball of yarn. :)
