Saving saving saving...

So we are saving up to buy a house...pretty gritty stuff, I know. Just kidding.

But seriously. I am so a psycho budget lady...I have planned out every paycheck until when we are planning to make an offer. Mid-April is that time, and by then, the budget is set to go so we can make a down payment and be ready to move in by June, which is when our apartment lease is up.

This is a very exciting time....looking at houses with our realtor, keeping a VERY detailed notebook outlining details about each one.....getting excited and then being let down....it's all a very tiring, fun, CRAZY process. We are really enjoying ourselves.

We have conversations about doorknobs....and paint....and vintage items....and tile....and backyards...

But we are loving each minute..

Each time we are let down, we remind ourselves to trust in the Lord...He has the perfect house out there for us. The one with the perfect ratio of already done--fixer-upper. :)

Today we think we found "THE ONE"...but a will see what God has to say about it. We don't have the down payment now...and who knows if it'll still be on the market?!?! But we are trusting.

Time will tell.

There is a time for everything....a season for everything under the sun.

We look forward to being able to be in a house and having others over....having dinner parties.....filling the house with kids. But until then....we wait. Hoping to maintain patience....
