ch ch ch changes
there are lots of changes going on in the ster/dot household. i recently got promoted at work and i've been so busy that i think that my head constantly spins on my shoulders. boyfriend and i are house hunting.. so are me and my husband. :) okay, we were house hunting. we've somewhat decided to put that plan on hold for the moment..... BUT, i feel good about it. not sure how he feels. to me, it seems like it's just better if we wait. there is no rush to buy a house right this very second- and i'd much rather wait for the right one to come along.
speaking of the right one, wanna know what pisses me off? when people (and by people i mean EVERY SINGLE PERSON) tells me that "your first home is never your dream house." okay, it may not be my dream house, but does that mean i have to settle for a house i can't stand?! i just hate people telling me what they think my house should be like. what if i do get close to my dream house my first time? why is this such a fucking impossibility? all it does is make me want to get an awesome house even more. you know what i mean?!?! i get it that the reality is that most people don't get perfect houses the first time they buy- but it still annoys me to no end to hear people remind me of that.... and even more, to hear people TELL ME that that is what WILL happen to us. how the hell do they know what will happen to us? just cause they bought a dump their first time around doesn't mean that's what we'll do. everyone can just shove their negative crap up right back up their ass where it belongs.

i second what other people say and telling us what we should do or where we should do it. i personally could give 2 shits if its a dream house or not. i like fixing stuff and making it personal. i like the idea of having to do a bunch of home customizations.
I understand why we are on hold for house hunting. even though i would move tomorrow just for the reason of telling our landlord to kiss my ass. if the right house at the right price comes up then i want to go for it but going to that town every weekend is annoying and i am glad we are putting that off for a while.
But most importantly im trying to buy a 5.0 mustang. and every one i have gone to see off craigslist has been a total POS. i mean missing door locks.....as in a hole in the door where you put your keys. i wish someone would just put what it was instead of trying to get someone to see it but lying to them to get there.

6 Say it:
No one else can tell you what you want or will be happy with in a house. Don't listen to them. I agree with Point on making the house yours. THAT'S what makes it your house, not some other schmo's that lived there before.
On the Mustang thing:
Ster - You should let him get what he wants. He's soupset over the house thing that this will make him happy (but not as happy as you make him!)
Point - Look for the LX 5.0. They're faster because they don't have all the body kit junk on them.
There shouldn't be a rush. you should hold out for "your house". I kinda wish that we held out a little longer when buying ours, but I was 9 months pregnant at the time, so we were a bit more rushed than you guys.
Granted, you may not find your DREAM house...bla bla bla. But the key to finding YOUR house is don't look at decoration or cleanliness, just at structure.
The BEST house (especially if you got Point into working on it) is a DIRTY DIRTY house with horrible 1970 decorations and wallpaper. But that has all your must haves.
It's amazing what a little elbow grease and some paint will do. Plus all that dirt and ugly wallpaper lowers the price significantly!! And all that fixing up will really make it feel like YOUR home.
THAT'S the find!! Now go get it!! =o)
Heh. You two are too cute. Funny, too!
Uy! Just wait until you two decide to give Blake a sibling! Talk about unsolicited advice and opinions...ppl out there just put way too much stock on their own advice. Nobody knows best but YOU! Take your time, and when it feels right (bc you'll definitely know) then go for it. Until then, I think the 'condescending-fee-sorry-for-you-because-you-felt-I-needed-your-advice grin' usually works at shutting 'em up...
Good luck, you guys!
I gotta say, i wasn't a huge fan of our first house...though i told the husband he had to get it for me. And I complained about a ton of little stuff....now i want it back!
Buy for the neighborhood and then, like boyfriend says, enjoy fixing up the place and making it your own!
Yet another piece of assvice from yours truly. ;0p
