I'm screaming inside (and a little outside too)


When a couple makes the decision to live together it should be a happy time. I was looking forward to selling our places and house hunting with my boyfriend. But the economy sucked the life out of our happy time and we had to start tapping the breaks.

The economy sucks. Thankfully we still have great jobs. There are hundreds and hundreds of homes on the market, but when you add in our list of requirements that list dwindles down to NOTHING. Well, very few homes.

The homes that we love either fly off the market (we still have one home to sell) or they're priced too high. So many people leveraged their homes in a over stated market and now have two choices, find someone who can afford their over priced home or give it back to the bank. We don't want to pay too much, but we also don't want to deal with the mad tangle of short sales and foreclosures.

It's frustrating. It's exhausting. It's sooo not romantic. But at least we have a break, we're going to enjoy the holidays and each other and our kitties and try again in the spring.
