The Hunt Begins...

Scott and I have decided we are tired of paying rent every month and seeing the money go out of our pockets and basically into the air...bye bye money...It has bothered us for some time and now we are taking action!

We have decided to start looking at houses. Last weekend was our official "drive around and look". Are houses expensive everywhere or is Little Rock special for some reason?? A couple weeks ago when we started planning and putting our finances together, we realized that there is a whole lot that goes into buying a house. How hard can it be? Get a loan, make an offer, and BUY. We have realized that it's more complicated than that:)

And then there is the question of how much a month do you want to pay? How much of both of our income's do we included in what we can afford? Do we consider school districts? So many questions...Any advice?

All this to say I am really excited but it is a huge decision nonetheless and please pray for us as we seek to buy the house God has planned for us!

Great Times!

I was so sad to see Sarah and Greta leave...We had such a wonderful time together. We got lots of girl time in, it was good to catch up on each other's lives...and be with Greta:)

Izzy didn't want her playmate Greta to leave either...

Almost walking with no help!

When Greta first saw me...I don't think she knew who I was yet...I took care of that problem by the time she left:)

Pics of Izzy at One Year:)

We like to watch Otto (my dad's dog) when my parents travel around the country...which they do a lot! Otto "puts up" with Izzy as you can see in the pictures:)

Izzy's First Snow

Izzy finally got to enjoy snow for the first time last week. I was beginning to worry that Little Rock wasn't getting any snow this year! But we finally did last Friday...in March!...This week's forecast is supposed to be sunny and in the 60's/70's. We have the weirdest weather here.
