House Hunting

It's a good thing gas is cheap right now because we have driven hundreds of miles looking at different possible places to live.


There's the "I knew that price was too good to be true"

Unfortunately, the only thing in store for this old victorian is probably a bulldozer.

There's the "that is NOT a four bedroom - or a three bedroom"

It's too bad, Mark loves this craftsman style of house.

There's the "um, call me paranoid, but I don't think a trailer house in Oklahoma is the smartest choice"

It was right by the highway anyway.

Here are two that I loved, but really were out of our price range.

Complete with friendly dog.

Lovely view of the lake included.

Too far away.

Probably too many repairs, it was full of junk inside.

This one actually could have worked, but it went up for auction before I could bid on it.

Five acres on the way to Kaw Lake.

The grey building in the background is an old school house.

The search goes on...

So, here we are

in Oklahoma.

My husband no longer has a job.

We no longer have a house.

We are staying in my mom's three bedroom house. 

Nine of us

And it's awesome because we are going to be living our dream!

(And I dream big)

We are tearing up the road looking at every possible property in a one hundred mile radius.

Whatever happens,  I am incredibly blessed because we didn't plan this five years ago when we bought our (now previous) house as a fixer upper. We didn't know then that I would be getting to the bottom of my personal barrel. That I would need a change like I need water. But I'm a prayin' kind of girl and I think all those prayers added up because we are here and it's like magic and I can't wait to see what happens next!
