No Home Sweet Home

Lately I have been paying a lot more attention to the real estate market and housing prices... I would love to buy a home of our own in the near future but I worry that we may not be able to afford it. I know we wouldn't (shouldn't) even think about it until after the wedding at least which is not far away, it would give us time to think about finances as well as where we would be interested in looking and what we would pay.

I don't mind renting but I just want a place that is our own. No neighbors that you can hear through the walls and a big backyard and enough room for all of our needs and for having family and friends over.

I've grown to be ... somewhat comfortable in our place now but it still doesn't feel like home. Our last place felt so much more homey and comfortable and here it just feels so... small and crappy and I just want to get out. I want a place to kick back and relax and know it's our own and know that everything is taken care of and done properly and just be happy and settled in.

I just can't wait! I look through the online listings all the time and then I get more antsy thinking about it and I know when the time is right for us to buy we will find the perfect home but I'm so impatient I just wish we could now! A year is not very long to have to look into things and consider all of our options so at least that is the upside. However we still don't really know when we will be able to actually make the leap from rent to own.

One day...
