House Shopping

What a load of crap. House Shopping is something that you get excited about and then realize, "Where am I getting the money for down payment?" Better yet, find me a NICE house within my price range that isn't comparable to a piece of crap. Literally, crap. I'm not kidding.

I wonder how my parents did it. How were they able to get a house. Yet able to build their own house that is beautiful (except for the pink carpet) and buy another house in Florida. One simple answer: It wasn't like it is today. Houses were in better shape and more affordable. Yes they were still a struggle financially but it was just different.

Steve and I found a really great house near us. The only draw back is it is near a place called slum run. This is the ghetto of Monaca. I'm sorry, but I do not want my children growing up in a gang someday. I could just see my daughter coming in with a crips bandana on her head with peiricings all over saying " Yo MOM!"

We must have looked at hundreds of houses, but nothing is in good shape or the ones that are nice, do not have enough bedrooms. AUGGGGGG!!!!!

I'm just frustrated. I just want to have a beautiful house where my daughter and future little babe can grow up in and play in a healthy environment. Is that too much to ask for? I just need to let go and let God.
