Went and talked to the realtor in Hartselle today and then went to go try and get prequalified for a home loan. We're leaning in the direction of an FHA or preferably a Rural Development Loan. Which would be awesome. We sent our info in for both, we should hear back something soon. Then we really start looking.
Debbie, our realtor, told us about a house in Joppa that is in our price range and the bedrooms and bathrooms that we want. The house looked great, but the neighbors were kind of not what we were looking for. The house sits on 1 acre that is pretty much surrounded by the neighbor's property. He seems like a nice old man, but I don't want neighbors. I want to continue my tradition of sitting on the porch at night and playing my ukulele and singing hymns to the Lord. I think if we could set that house on some land away from everyone, that would be exactly what we wanted.
She discouraged us from looking at foreclosures, I really don't understand why though. I trust Debbie. She has been a family friend for a long time; I trust her judgement.
But we are not in a rush to find a house, we are still living in Moldy Goldie. It is not like we are out on the street. I know the right place will come along.
Lee is on the prowl for a new job as well. His hours are just so inconsistent and he is so talented in everything he does. If I were his boss, I would give him a salary of a million dollars a year. He is a lot better than most of these athletes that make more than that so.... give the man his due, I say. He is back in his office writing and rewriting his resume while listening to The Beatles.
Jackie's wedding and Halloween are coming up next month and I am super excited!
