House Hunters

Hunting for our dream house was getting a little daunting.  Every week when the local newspaper came, I would search for the new listings. If I saw one that I thought would fit our requirements, I would take a drive past.  If it was something I liked, I would call the realtor and make an appointment to see it. If I liked a place, Hubby didn’t. If he liked a place, I didn’t. Those years were very difficult, not only because of not finding our dream house, but it was the sandwich years. Caring for 4 children, a dog with an attitude and having very ill parents. Now add all of Hubby’s rental renovations during this time. So, a lot was going on in my life. Sometimes I felt like it was chaos.

We had been house hunting for over 12 years before we moved to the Depot house.  While living there, we searched for two more years, which means we searched for 14 years. If there was an award for the longest “House Hunters” I think we would have won. It was getting a little discouraging, that is if I let it discourage me. 

My favorite saying was, “One day I am going to go around a curve and there it will be our dream house.” I just knew God would provide. Another phrase I would say was, “I am content, in my uncontentment!”  Uncontentment isn’t even a word, but I used it. Even in all my searching and longings for a new house, I knew God was in control. Is it possible to be content in the midst of hard times, aggravating times? Yes, if you know God is in control.

I was very excited when we went to see a house that was for sale on Bissel Road. I loved the house and how it was decorated, but it was just not quite what we were looking for. What a bummer.  I was so disappointed. It didn’t have a basement, just a cement crawl space. It didn’t have an attached garage. It was not handicap accessible. We wanted to make sure if we ever needed it, we would have it available. Plus, the house was perfect. No renovations needed. So that meant it didn’t qualify.  That’s because I’m married to a renovation addict.  Trust me, I would have loved to buy a house that was ready for immediate occupancy.

I just couldn’t get the little house out of my mind. So, one day as I was driving past, I decided to take a picture with my 35mm film camera.  Don’t really know why except during this time, I would cut out pictures from magazines of houses, bedrooms, kitchens or of anything I loved and put them in a scrapbook.  That way I would have idea’s how to decorate, once I got my dream house.
