I’m looking forward to working with you ladies on Brenda’s new blog. She has so much to offer women and I appreciate her thinking of me!<br /><br />Yeah, the fireplaces are always a big deal…LOL. We did find a home and while it doesn’t have everything we want, it clicked enough of our checkboxes to make an offer. We are looking forward to getting settled! You were one brave woman making that offer…LOL<br />Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-85264313022690707172015-07-25T23:15:18.042-05:002015-07-25T23:15:18.042-05:00Thank you Katherine!

I thought I should stop over and have a look around and say 'hi' since we are both contributors on Brenda's new blog.<br /><br />This was indeed a lovely home, but since there's no fireplace in the kitchen (a girl after my own heart), it wasn't for you ;). <br /><br />Now about those frogs...I think I kissed more than my fair share before finding my 'Fisherman', but as for houses, not so much. The house we lived in for 26 years was the second one we looked at and I put an offer in before my husband saw it. :/<br /><br />Doreen@foxdenrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418636999038800443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-81235777880101264412015-07-25T22:02:43.560-05:002015-07-25T22:02:43.560-05:00Oh it was a lovely home and decorated beautifully ...Oh it was a lovely home and decorated beautifully too.

While we have been looking at all of these houses, I’ve been thinking about the few of you that I know who are building. I cannot even begin to imagine what the stress is like. And over a year??!! I don’t know if I could handle it. It seems that it is always something with the house buying/building process and that it never goes as anticipated or hoped. Thank you so much and likewise, I can’t wait to see what your new home looks like and can’t wait to see the décor…I know it will be so beautiful…your home now is gorgeous!!

You will then make it your own and it will be just as beautiful. The building a home thing....more stressful than I ever imagined....6 months.....not likely.......we are over 1 year now and still probably have 2 months at least to go. Complications galore. Oh well we will get there. Thanks for posting this fun story. Loved looking at the home.
