Ok so change that!

Ok so sunday afternoon we went to look at this house with todds parents and come to find out it rained there the night before (which was good in our situation), so the house showed us how much it really did leak and that was quite a bit there was standing water in the bathroon in the basement in the garage in the laundry room, it was AWFULL!!! on top of all that the brick on the outside of the house was pulling away from the house so that means these guys would have to come in tear the brick down and reput it back up with tiebacks and that would end up costing us alot of money so we decided that maybe that house wasnt the one for us and that was gods gracious way of showing us. Which I started thinking and I wasnt really IN LOVE with the house in the first place so maybe that was gods way of helping me out. I talked to our realtor the next day and she thought we needed to take our offer off the house as well as my dad and mom my mother in law and my father in law, in fact the only person that didnt want to take the offer off was TODD! Todd thought that was going to be the best we were going to find and that we werent going to find anything better within 10 minutes of the store and somewhere we could resell that was a GOOD starter home well I begged the differ. See to me when you buy a home thats a major purchase so no matter whether its your first or last no matter what situation your in I think you definately do not need to rush it!! well the realtor sent me some other homes in the area and Im going to go look at them tommorrow with her and Ive even packed me a kit so I can answer all of my parents and todds parents questions. Whats in this kit you ask? well a camera to take a TON of pictures and I do mean a TON Im talking pictures of the roof, pictures of the hot water heater, pictures of the air conditioner, pictures of the walls, the basement, the bathrooms, around the toilet, in the shower, in the kitchen, in the bedrooms, in the attic, in the closets, you name it I will have a picture of it. As well as a camera I have a tape measure to measure the room sizes the cabinet sizes the wall sizes the closet sizes the HOUSE!! Last but not least I have my trusty notebook and pen to write everything down....WHEW I think I have everything, anything else you think? well there is this one house and I am hoping its the one its 11 years old and its a foreclosure and its really really nice!! (from the pictures) originally they had it at 141,000 which as you know is out of our range well I prayed for god to help us last night and this morning its dropped down to 126,900 which is in our range!!! IM SOOOO EXCITED!!!! I just pray that god continues to help us and he will show us which house is right for us and believe me I have faith that he will I am not worried one bit! ;-)
