Restful Weekend

I would have to say that the weekend seemed very restful.

Friday night I went to dinner and spent some time with a friend who was visiting from Detroit. He use to live here but moved. It was a very nice visit and I enjoy seeing him when he comes in.

Saturday I did some yard work and later that evening the Bride and I went to my brother and sister-in-laws house for dinner.

Sunday after church I got some more rest in and then we went and looked at houses. Are we in the market for a new house you ask? Eventually we will need one when little ones start appearing...and NO, we are not pregnant now. We are just looking to see what is out there.

We have considered building on to our house but with adding a Den and a Master Suite with Bath it would cost us about $70-$80,000.00+. It makes more since to us to buy something already done the way we want it.

Out of all the "newly built" homes we looked at yesterday we only saw one that we liked the most and it was currently being used as the model home; and the only one available. Other houses were nice but builders these days are cramming a 3 bedroom,
2 bath home in a 1500 square foot space; leaving no room for entertaining if you wanted too. The living rooms didn't even has space for 2 couches. What are builders thinking!!! Of course there are BIGGER houses out there but they all come with a BIGGER payment!!!

We of course are in no rush. We just know that we want to upgrade from our current, lovely, 2 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath, cottage style home that sits on about an acre of land. Totally upgraded with stainless steel appliances, IKIA cabinets, original hardwood floors, ceremic tile floors in kitchen, dining room, both bathrooms and tub in full bath has tile up to the ceiling. 1,000sq. total. There is a deck off of the back door, a front porch and a 2 car driveway where vehicles can park one beside the other; instead of behind one another.

So, does anyone want to buy? Please call 555-5555 for more information or to schedule an appointment.
