Crazy Times

So maybe we're crazy. We're making plans to stay here in Bloomington for a few more years. And in so doing, would like to buy a 'real' house. Our town home is great, but with no garage and no yard and not much room to expand once we start a family, it really would be nice to have a house with all those things. I don't think I'm super picky, but I guess I actually am because I've been looking around online to see what the market is like around here and I hadn't really seen anything that looked just right. Until last week. I found the perfect house, but it's on the higher end of our price range. And until Scott gets his new job it's on the super high end of our price range. It's been on the market for a while so I don't know how much longer it will be around. The market IS slow right now, so we have that working towards us. Unfortunately it also works against us because we need to sell our place before we can buy something else. And then in another way that is good because we aren't quite ready to move until early next year.

So here we are in a quandary. Do we try to sell our town home now in order to possibly get the place we love and struggle for a while to pay for it, or do we wait and hope that something else wonderful comes along? And here's where we're crazy. While the second option sounds the most reasonable and wise, we're going with the first one. We really don't know how soon our place will sell and we're looking around a little bit before making an offer on this particular place, so I feel like we're opening up our options and letting God open or close doors where he may. Please pray that He will do that and will give us wisdom (that we listen to and follow!) to make the right decisions as they come along. Thanks!!
