No place to call home

So, we found out yesterday our #1 choice wasn't on the market. The landlord decided to sell instead of lease arg! So the #2 house became #1, and the realtor called today, and said that someone beat us to it, so. Back to square one. The other 10 places we looked at on our trip down there were nos.

That means moving into the extended stay, and my job will be to find us a place to live, while John Paul's job is to actually go to work. Yay limbo! *deep breaths* the perfect house is out there and we didn't see it when we visited last week. Just gotta focus on not freaking out now lol!

Houston...

So, this week we flew down to Houston to find a place to live. Tuesday we looked at 12 houses, and were totally bushed. Got up and signed a lease on one and then had a whole day to drive around. So, we checked out the area where we'd be living, and ended up getting to the airport HOURS early, for lack of anything better to do. We were thinking to ourselves what a successful trip it'd been when as we were going through security the realtor called.

The house we wanted to move into at the end of June wouldn't be available until the beginning of August. So we went back and forth and tried to decide if staying in temporary housing for a month would be better than just moving in to another house. After realizing that the next house we liked was 3x farther away from work, we took the top choice and looked for temp housing.

So, be praying for us. We're going to move into an extended stay hotel for a month, before we get to move into our place. Just when I thought we'd be getting our own place, another month of limbo. O well, the house we are moving into will be great!
