House Hunters

I think Tyler and I have just about enjoyed apartment living to its fullest.  And while Tyler and I have begun to talk about the idea of moving, I can't get too excited just yet because I would risk scaring Tyler into his non-commitment cycle where his mind becomes crowded with fears of mowing the lawn, fixing a broken toilet, etc. and so we have to ease him into the idea of being a home owner. To be clear, neither of us are "do it yourselfers" -- which is why apartment living sounded awesome. But our recent mishaps at the apartment have proven otherwise! Since time is scarce around our house with tax season and now the recent clinical trial, we have only gotten to look at houses seriously one time. But here are three houses we liked:

House #1

Our favorite part of this house! 

The BONUS room!

Too small of a kitchen!

House #2

My favorite...so far!

The deal breaker on this house for Tyler....the toilet does not have its own door....so sad.

House #3

Tyler's favorite... so far!

We had so much fun looking at different houses and what I loved about it is that it allowed me to get to learn new things about Tyler. For example, some might think a "make it or break it" part of a house for a guy would be a "man cave" or an awesome backyard for grilling (all of which my husband would love!) but what has surprised me the most is his deep need for a door in between the toilet and the vanity in our master bathroom and the important fact that the TV absolutely should not be placed over the fireplace. His designer taste have given me the best laugh! Gotta' love that guy!  We have made no final decisions on buying a "premade home" (as Tyler would call it) or building...but I hope we do soon!  We will keep you updated!
