House hunting

"Kids, we are going to look at another house...."  " NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"

Well, imagine if you were 5,6 or 8 years old, and had to go through house after house.... we have now looked about 40 houses. We have come to the conclusion, that if we are going to be able to afford what we would like, then we have to look outside of the city. The city offers shoe-boxes, fixer-uppers and no land.

In my first blog I told about how we found the house we now rent, well, a house came up on the market across the street from where we rent, and we fell in love! It was the only house that spoke to both of us during the showing. It is a fabulous house! I will post pictures once we have signed the contract, hehehe.

Our main criteria was that a house we buy, wherever it is, it can't be a house where we can not grow. Not meaning babies, but rather where the kids can have friends over at all ages, even as teenagers, and where we easily can have guests over, and if in the country side, it has to be attractive for people to drive out there. We have found it! We being very wise and thought we have to sell the other house first before we bid on anything, but another family was also interested in it, and started bidding, way under asking price! So we countered, and they pulled out! YAY! So a step of faith, yes, but we are convinced that this is where we are supposed to be! And under asking price! (In Sweden prices always go UP from asking price, not down as in the US)

To be continued about my job situation! (have alot to write, but want to keep them short)
