I Want This...

So, one of my favorite bloggers Kate Richardson does a post ever so often entitled "I Want That". Well, it is my turn! Some days when Ella is taking her afternoon nap I spend a while on the computer looking at houses in the area. Don't get me wrong...I LOVE our house!! I think I am just looking for a steal. The other day I stumbled across these two houses and we are going on Saturday to look at them. Kate, if you lived here you would be showing these to us, but it might be a long drive from Wichita!!

This is my favorite house. It was built in 1905!! It has always been my dream to own a really old house and fix it up. It does already have central heat & air as well as the washer/dryer connections, cable connections, etc. but it does need some work. However, it is beautiful. It is also a STEAL!!! With the money we would be saving on our house payments we could do the renovations over time. This is a house I would live my whole life in. Now, come Saturday I may have a whole new story because it may just be tooooo much work, but a girl can dream can't she??!! (Might be too big of a dream!)I mean, look at that window!!! And the ceiling detail...uhhhh!!!!Gorgeous!This is Trey's favorite one though. It is out in the country on two acres. Trey already has big plans in his head and he is so cute talking about all of it. My mom and I started talking about it and all I can think of are snakes and bugs!! YUCK! We will see though. It was built in 2007 (so much much newer) and is just under 2,400 square feet. It doesn't have a garage though and I am not sure how I feel about that. So, I don't really think/know if we really will move. It is A LOT of WORK!!! And honestly when I think about leaving our home I get a little sad. All the memories that I have of the first year of my baby girl's life. I am pretty crazy about wonderful houses though so I might just change my mind!!

Oh yeah and next time you are watching Napoleon Dynamite (which I'm sure is often haha)....watch for the scene when the Uncle is showing a couple some tubberware and he says "if you buy this 32 piece set, then you get this free model ship" And the wife looks at her husband sooo intensely and she says "I WANT THAT"
Cracks me up EVERYTIME.
