August 09 -
Ok, this is not working out. All of the houses we are looking at are too small, too expensive, and the neighborhoods are all fairly run down and somewhat sketchy. It's time to re-evaluate. What do we want in a house?
We want a good sized house, a house that we can grow into with a family and still have space. We want a house that we can be proud of, and a house where people can spend the night without issue. We want a house that is safe, where we don't have to constantly jump at little noises and where the dog can lounge in peace. We want a neighborhood where I can walk/run and not feel like I'm in danger. We want a neighborhood where kids can play in the yard without fear of them disappearing, or ride their bike down the road and safely reach their destination.
Ultimately, we want a house further out of the city...but that requires a much longer commute for Scott.
So we started looking in the neighborhoods around my parent's house. Scott would be looking at over an hour commute and is starting to look at job options around the new city.
We headed out west very very hopeful. The houses were a lot cheaper in price and much bigger. They also had larger yards. This could be very good.
