To buy or not to buy....

So, my delicious husband and I are wanting to buy a block of land. Now, the title is a little misleading because we've already decided we want to buy... we just need to decide on which one! This is the tough part.

We, for the past fifty Saturdays in a row (okay, so maybe like four Saturdays... but it feels like more) have been visiting the area we want to buy in and looking around the estates, annoying real estate agents, and looking at land. I used to think, "It's just land.. there's no house yet, so surely it's easy to choose!" WRONG! It's hard to choose the perfect one. Do you want a larger block or a nicer view? Do you want a perfect rectangle or a bit of shape? Do I want it here, or there? Should we pay the extra $30,000 for the PERFECT block or settle for something a little less than perfect and save a bunch of money. Which one will Ruby (our gorgeous new puppy) like best? These are the thoughts.

Well, whichever block we decide on, it'll happen soon! Be excited! Then, soon after (or maybe a bit later... whatever we decide - AHH DECISIONS!) we will build our dream home... which by the way we have already chosen :)

While it is hard to decide, I am grateful for this decision. I could be deciding between which cardboard box to slide into at night for a bit of shelter, or whether to eat that mouldy piece of bread or this rotten mandarin (EW!). We are very blessed and have the ability to meet our needs and even some of our wants. It may take hard work, but it's worth it.
