The Family Without a Home

Let me tell you a story about a little family without a house.  Remember the story of Little Red Riding Hood?  Yep, that's us.  We keep trying on all these houses but none of them fit.  We've bid and lost on 4 houses now all with varying circumstances none of which I can control which makes this all EXTREMELY frustrating. 

If I could sit here and tell you that we're just not finding any or that we're not trying very hard, then it would be a different story but that's not the case. 

At this point, we are going to be homeless next Friday.  Talk about a crazy feeling.  I don't even know how to pack for that because at this point, I don't know how long this will be the case.

So we're back at the house hunt tonight.  Expanding our area, which I don't want to do for a number of reasons.  I'm just comfortable where we are.  I love our church, our gym, everything.  I might as well move to an entirely new city...Denver here we come!! (I wish)

Current Stats:
Homes Viewed Electronically - 100+
Homes Driven By - 50+
Homes Visited - 35+  45
Homes Bid on - 4
Homes won - 1
Homes Lost again - 1

Maybe this will be our  new house..

    oh Katie, I'm so sorry. I wish you all the best luck. Don't people want to sell their homes? What's going on?

    Little Red Riding Hood almost got eaten by the wolf in grandma's clothing. Golilocks and the three bears is what you meant.
