Happy Friday

I’m not going to lie, last week was a tough one for me with Nina’s passing and Josie had her first stomach bug all week long. This week, I felt like I was playing catch up and now that it’s Friday, I’m finally feeling on top of it again. Just in time for the weekend.

I ran across this house from Trisha Troutz’ blog a few days ago and I keep dreaming about it…

Isn’t it fantastic? To see more of the house, you can go here. Unfortunately, it’s located in Texas so that’s a pretty long commute for Graham. You want to hear some depressing reality? The house is on the market for $1.1 million. I decided to look in the area that Graham and I are interested in eventually buying and this is the house that is listed for 30k more…

In case you think for some odd reason the houses seem sort of on par. This home is a 2 bed 1 bath and 1,190 square feet, not in the best location. The texas house is 4 beds, 4 baths and 4,352 square feet. The local house will probably sell within about ten days of being on the market and go for well over asking. Can someone please remind me how incredibly miserable the Texas summers are? I’m at a bit of a loss here.
