The Search...

We all search for various things though out our lives, whether it be the perfect pair of shoes, just the right garage sale bargain, a favorite recipe or in our case a great deal on a house. I LOVE a good deal! Right now is the time to buy a house in our area (and many other areas I think) and so there are a lot of houses on the market. I want the most bang for my buck, hence THE SEARCH. We thought we'd found the house right after Christmas but that didn't go through so we kept looking. Yesterday we looked at several and we think we've finally found something that, if it works out - we got a deal! Has the search really ended? We don't know. Does this house get us excited - you bet. Mind you these deals we find require sweat equity and we're not afraid of that. To quote Dave Ramsey - "Live like no one else so later you can live like no one else!" I hope we're making the right kind of financial sacrifices to ensure our children despise debt and have financial peace in their lives. It makes such a difference! We'll keep you posted!

How great it is to be that type of people who can put in sweat equity. We are just not handy like that.

Good luck on the continued search.
