Contrary to previous statements about not looking for house anymore. Joel and I made one last ditch effort and went to see 4 houses one night. Including the one that Joel just made a deposit on!!
It’s adorable and in the village and 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths and is on .5 acres and is awesome and great and YAY HOUSE!
I’ll post pictures once we have more access to it. The previous owner still lives there, so I can’t run around willy-nilly taking pictures of her house, she probably wouldn’t approve.

Joel and I have decided to put our house-hunting on hold, because we need to save more money for a down payment and there isn’t much around in our price range that we both can agree on. Also, we feel like wedding planning/paying for should be more of a focus for now.
Speaking of wedding planning- it’s driving me a little crazy, because I feel like there is so much we need to do, but we’re at a kind of limbo at the moment. We probably need to have another meeting with Joel, myself, Jim and Jan, and my Dad about trimming the guest list and other various things. We’ve found a photographer that we might be using, which is kind of exciting. We’re meeting with him on Wednesday to discuss stuff and pricing.
Also, speaking of weddings, apparently Joel’s brother Josh got engaged to his girlfriend (now fiancee) Targol… which is great and all, but seems a little sudden. Josh is my brother’s age and has rushed into engagement before, so we’re a little worried. We all prefer Targol to the previous fiancee, but still… it seems rather soon. Also, Jen is going to be pissed that Josh and Targol got engaged before Jeremiah and her. She and Jeremiah have been together for 5-6 years and living together for a while, and there’s no ring. Jere’s in trouble.
No hope on the job front. I’m going to be continuing to sub at Fairport and work at Wegmans in the Floral department… and maybe eventually something will come up? It’s frustrating, but there’s not much I can do about it right now when there aren’t job openings to apply for.
I always start blog posts thinking I have a lot to talk about and then about half way through I forget everything I was planning on saying. Boo.

I was in love with a house that I met on the internetz… but it was taken away from me before we could meet IRL. It made me sad.
Then we went to look at a house that I thought looked kinda crap on the internetz, but in person I could see it really working for us. 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a small deck, a pool, a relatively large yard (narrow yard, but long for in the village), it was built in 1932 but has recently had a lot of work done on it and it is only $125,000. Joel needs to go and talk to some mortgage people to figure out the financial bit, and his brother wants to do a walk-through, but I think it could really work. Joel does not seem to be as sold on it as I am, but for the price-range that we are looking for, I think it’s a great deal… so now I just have to wait for him to talk to the mortgage-y people and take his brother to see it and whatnot.
The longer we wait, the more I worry that someone else is going to jump on it and we’ll be screwed. *sigh*
