Don't Settle!

"Don't Settle" seems to be the new Moses Mission Statement lately! We have really been blessed with our house hunting experience. We have enjoyed it, and know that our future will be in a home that we really love. That is why we don't want to settle, and we won't! The process has almost been too easy, and I say all of this after having been out-bid on the first house we really fell in love with (see below post). 3 people put on an offer on the house last Friday. Ours came in at 2:30, the next at 2:38, and the last one right before the end of the work day. The last one was an offer for the asking price, so I don't blame the bank for taking that offer! We weren't going to do that, so we took that as a sure sign that was not our perfect home. We have now looked at about 25 homes. We have another favorite that we like and will probably put an offer on tomorrow. Here are some pictures. You will be able to tell why we like this one after you see the photos!

We really like how this house has character, but still looks new and up to date. Its a good mix of everything we like. We don't like that it backs up to a fairly busy street, but that will not be a deal breaker for us. This house was built in 1994 and is really great shape. It was very clear that the current owners take very good care of this home. I love the crown molding that is throughout the house. I have also been made aware of how expensive window treatments can be, which made me so glad to see that it had the 2" blinds come with the home! The carpet was in really good shape and very clean. We felt very comfortable in this home, and are looking forward to making a move on it. If this is not the house for us, we will of course continue our search with a good attitude. It has been fun looking at what different homes have to offer, and just getting to know Waco in general.

We will keep you blog readers updated as we move along!
