What house hunting and dating have in common...
It's time consuming and all-other types of consuming
You're always looking at houses, wondering if it could be the one.
You actually find a few you want to check out more closely, only to go inside and realize it's just not what you were looking for.
You find a match-maker, someone to set you up with all available houses. You often wonder how well this person knows what you're actually looking for by what they find for you.
Most of the houses you really like are way out of your league.
Pictures are not always what they appear.
There's a lot of creepy, old houses out there.
You find a good house, one that will suit your needs, everything fits and then someone else puts an offer in right before you and it gets snatched away. You realize later it wasn't all it was cracked up to be.
Everyone wants to know exactly what you're looking for but you're not even quite sure yourself. You'll know it when you see it.
Everyone you know will tell you all about their house hunting/buying experiences.
And eventually when the time is right, you find the one you've been looking for. And it all works out. And life goes on.

So....did you find one? If so I want to see pictures when you get a chance? How are you, good I'm sure. Love to see your new posts. I would love even more to see new pictures. Talk to you soon?
What a great analogy. I love it. Aren't you glad that you have the dating behind you so you can focus on the house now? Good luck!
Dear Kaydi Rae--you are a poet and a philosopher who speaks to my heart. If only you could embrioder all of that on a running hat. But really, it was right on and genius. ---Love, Becky
And then you'll find a house you love and meet the home inspector-this person is a lot like the in-laws. You either fall in love with the house even more because of the home inspector or you start to think about looking for another one.
Too bad non-committal relationships don't happen with houses.
Fantastic analogy!! So...have you found the one?? Did that place work out?
I've wished for earnest money in dating before. "Hey, I'm really REALLY interested. Here's $2000 to prove that I want you bad. Please don't let anyone else have you while I get some things figured out."
Hilarious! I LOVE it! I actually think house hunting is like buying a wedding dress. You will know it's "the one" when you see it. And it's often the first one you look at (or at least that's how it was for us)!!!

You are sooooo funny Kaydi Rae. K so I am confused...i thought you got a house! Did it get snatched up from under you! Oh boy if someone stole it from my Kaydi....we will have to toilet paper it when the people move in! lol
We could bagel it! yes, bagel it. They will wake up to a million birds....oh it will be beautiful!
