Since I have not finished my book yet, and since I am too lazy to upload a poem, I thought I'd catch everyone up on the housing process. Well, we have looked at 8 houses, 7 in Royal Oak (where we currently live) and one in Clawson. We have a budget, and finding one to fit that budget isn't too hard, but the problem we are having is that everyone else has found them too. We so far attempted to make 2 offers on 2 different houses, and there have been plenty that we haven't even seen because they are already in pending sale. Everyone thinks that we are crazy for trying to make offers so quickly, but apparently we are in some sort of warped race for a house. Which I am shocked at, because Michigan's economy is so bad. That is the problem, people like Kyle and I would normally not have enough income for a house in this area, but since the market value has gone down so much we can. We also have to avoid foreclosures. It sounds odd, but we are FHA approved, and the house would have to pass all these codes before we moved in, so it can't have siding that is falling off, or a torn-apart driveway. We don't have any money to fix up the house before we move in, so we have been forced into looking at mostly quick-sales, which really are not quick. They actually take a long time with all the paperwork, that is why we keep seeing houses with for sale signs, and listed online when they already have offers on them.
Anywho, long story short, I have had my heart broken by two amazing houses. Kyle too. I guess I am mostly mad because the second one wound up with four offers, and the seller didn't say anything to our Realtor. I mean, I wouldn't even had bothered looking at it if I knew that! Gawh. Anyways, we jotted down a few more, but I think we lost a little momentum. I mean, it has only been a few weeks, but we are so pressured, and at the same time scared shitless.
I am sorry for all the pics, Kyle has been trying really hard to get me to pose different so I don't look like some dorky kid on their first day of school, then when I pick out only two pictures, he gets all bummed out. He makes me look cool, but he is so much more passionate about taking pictures of flowers, or scenery, or even dirt, lol. Oh and I promise that my hair was pretty earlier, MI is so crazy this week, it was cold this morning and by noon it was hot and muggy.
I had forgotten about this dress, I have now thought of about half a dozen ways to style it so that makes me happy. I thought I would show off just the polka dot's for now. I think I switched from plaid to polka this week.
Oh and I got my sweet top from Sam! I can't wait to wear it. The initial outfit I had picked out would make me sweat like a cow in this heat, but I will still style it asap, it is too cool! Thanks Sam!!
