We, my husband and I, have been home hunting for the last year and a half. We have put in several offers. We've seen a million houses, fell in love with a few, and still have no home.
Our rent lease went up July 2009 and we were doing the home search then. So, we figured why not save a little extra and not get into a new lease, since we could be in our own home any day now. A year later, still nothing.
Our first son came in the middle of this "hunt". Such a huge blessing! We would love to give him his own place and space. We are now pregnant with our second child! Another blessing, however, the need for our own home is greater now than ever...
