♥ Works in Progress ♥

Here’s a few paintings on watercolor paper I started over the past few days. As I told you yesterday things are a bit stressful around here so my art is taking a bit of a back seat so we can deal with what needs to be done to get the hell out of dodge. We talked to a very nice loan officer by the name of Chuck who’s helping us to get the ball rolling. We have been pre-approved to start looking and have a somewhat decent limit as to a price range we’ll be looking in. Thankfully that part is out of the way. Now to find a Realtor to work with.  This won’t be the first home I’ve bought but I’ve never really enjoyed working with real estate agents as they’ve been pretty much out for themselves and their commission in my past experience. This is something that I’m putting in God’s hands so we find someone who’s fair and honest and has our best interests at heart. I will keep you posted as things happen and I might even share some house links and pics with you as we start this great adventure that is house hunting.

Today’s toys are pulled directly from my purse. I got this set for Christmas this past year and just LOVE them! This tape measure is going to come in super handy while hunting the housing market and the matching flashlight is just as cute and useful. Tools can be toys when they are as cute as this duo!

I spent some time on some real estate sites this morning and I’m feeling more encouraged than I had been the past few days. As I don’t have a car and our house payment will be several hundred over what we’re paying in rent it will be some time before we can afford another set of keys to anything I’m hoping for something relatively close to where we live now and on or very close to a bus line. When I was looking this morning I found a few that intrigued me so I’m feeling a bit more hopeful. It’s going to be quite the journey so buckle your seatbelt people! We’re in for a wild ride. See you tomorrow for Whispering Wednesday.
