The search for Home

Is not as easy as one might imagine. And the atmosphere is surprisingly competitive. Houses come onto the market and are sold within HOURS. That, my friend, is intimidating.
Especially for the 'little guy' such as Brian and I. We aren't rolling in with hundreds-of-thousands of dollars in cash money ready to hand the seller and sometimes at more than asking price. Come on! Not fair.
Anyway, we looked at 4 houses today. The first was good (not perfect, but a contender). The second was a bit too far from downtown Boise. The third was bank-owned and while it had character, it needed more work than the price allowed (I think. Brian was really intrigued by it, which is actually kind of a phenomenon in this search). The fourth was absolutely not an option; the location was a complete deal-breaker.
I'm going to go take a bath with my wine and a Boise Weekly. This blog to be continued...

Oh haiii, I'm back. But with little more to say. I imagine we will be in a position to make an offer (still waiting for our taxes to be processed for 2012) within March. That is completely terrifying. But there is no one else I would rather do it with than this boy of mine.

We went yurting in Idaho's back country a couple weeks ago. This is after the somewhat strenuous but surprisingly enjoyable hike in. 
Breathtaking views the entire way.

Goodnight! Xx
