I had no idea that buying a house took you on such a roller coaster. Just looking at houses was exhausting and sometimes felt like we would never find one. Then we did, and the real fun began... all the back and forth and trying to beat out the other offers. The goal: come in high enough but not to high that we end up paying more than we have to. The whole thing is a game that leaves you in TOTAL UNCERTAINTY most of the time!!! So I sit here this morning totally emotionally frazzled still waiting to hear if we got the house or not. Deep down I know we will end up where we are suppose to so if it isn't this house there is another one, the trick is having enough faith to believe it!!
P.S. Thanks for letting me vent!!!!
BEN and LINDS
Ben and I met in Aug. of 2000. We were engaged shortly after and were married on Feb. 6, 2001. We have three beautiful children Joshua- 6, Ellie- 3, Chase- 2. Two and a half years ago we bought a St. Bernard dog that I named Bernard. He has become very much a part of the family and we love to play with him. Ben and I enjoy spending time together traveling and being in the outdoors. Ben's hobbies are biking, running, playing golf, and eating choclate chip cookies. My hobbies are baking, scrapbooking, decorating my house and walking my dog. We adore our kids and LOVE spending time with them!!!
JOSHUA
Joshua is a witty and sensitive six year old. He is a great example to his younger siblings. Joshua loves to play sports, ride his bike/scooter, and fish with his Dad. Joshua is loving first grade at his new school and looks forward to making many new friends. Joshua has loved all the open fields at our new home in Idaho to ride his bike and four wheeler in.
ELLIE
Ellie is three and has a very sweet spirit about her. She loves being creative and especially loves to color. Ellie is a girley girl, if is pink and pretty she wants to have it and/or wear it. She loves her brothers and enjoys playing boy things as long as it is with them.
CHASE
Chase is two and keeps us on our toes. He loves to explore and usually makes a mess doing it. Chase already has a great sense of humor, he makes us all laugh. He is a tough little boy and will try anything. Chase loves "Hee Ha's" aka Horses and takes every chance he gets to ride one.

Hang in there, it'll all be over soon. Maybe eat a few nutter butters until it all solves itself. That's what I would do.
Even though I'm happy we're staying here, I wish we were moving to the same city! That would be great! Maybe later. . .
It is not fun when you are in the mist of offering and counters! It is amazing we all don't come out crazy after buying a house! good luck! Let us know as soon as you find out!
Oh man...I hear ya!! Buying our first house was a total concerted effort of about a year and 4 months.....Of looking and offering and being a week from closing and something going horribly wrong. Having to look all over again... Being extrememly excited and extrememly frustrated. But we finally got into a house that is just perfect for us and it was all worth it. I am sure you will feel the same way and you will have a huge sigh of relief when it is all said and done ....you will be so happy!!!!
Wow, a lot has changed since I checked your blog last, I can't believe you guys are moving. It sounds like a great opportunity for your family, we're really happy for you. As far as the house hunt goes we can totally relate. My whole life was consumed with it for nearly 6 months last year, OK maybe it didn't take over my whole life but much more then it should have, very stressful but so rewarding in the end. Good Luck with everything, I can't wait to hear about things when they're all said and done. Also thank you for your kind words about Adam's dad passing, it really meant a lot to us.
Wow. That's a lot. Good Luck on the house.
