Our House (In the middle of the street)...

I started thinking about moving today.. into a house. Then I looked at available homes online and got overwhelmed/discouraged about looking and about the thing it is to go through all the numbers and the legalities etc. I think once we start looking, we're going to be pretty picky about the details because we want to find a place in a good location for both of our treks to work, and a place that will be good for raising kids, and that's away from busy streets but close enough to shopping conveniences.

I kind of wish we could start looking soon. I'm already tired of my 60 miles of driving every day to and from work, as well as the limited space we have currently in our apartment, which is getting better with more organization. But it's been hard to organize our spare room because there isn't a lot of space for things to go. There's an unused mini fridge in our kitchen which we've adapted into an island.. Jon's musical equipment needs a room for itself, and there is little remainder room for my art and sewing items which really only takes up space while I'm actually working on a project.. but still the option of that space is necessary.

Side note: I'm noticing how diligent I am about things being put away, heh. Out-of-place items bother me. Thing is, when items like musical or tool-related gear get used a lot by my wonderful and talented husband, the best place for it isn't where it's "away" .. it's right in the middle of our kitchen table or on the counter where food gets prepared. We need an "away" room that has better access and doesn't feel so "away".

I keep seeing really cute houses that would serve our styles and our needs really well. I'll probably keep thinking about it for half a year before anything happens though. I'm starting to make friends with our crickets anyway :)
