Choices choices

Well today we packed up the troops and headed to Pekin to show the girls the houses that we have been looking at. The girls loved the Cabin and Victoria loved the smaller house with the huge yard. She is already talking about a swing set in the yard. Our agent that we have been working with showed us another house in Salem that is 5 bedrooms that is also getting foreclosed on. They are asking 115.000. It is a HGTV flip this house dream. Brick outside with an attached two car garage. The carpet would have to be replaced completely throughout the house and paint throughout too. The yard again is waterlogged and it needs some landscaping BAD! The upstairs is adorable with two nice sized bedrooms with a bonus room that would make a wonderful play room for kids. One is already painted an obnoxious purple color for Victoria. My biggest complaint are the ceilings. They are textured in two different patterns. They are bordered in a typical texture pattern about a foot wide and then there is an inch and a half strip of paint in the color of the room then on the inside a fan pattern...........That is horrible! The rooms are blue, burgundy, biege, purple, pink, and a dark blue. All of them have a paint strip in the ceiling in the color of the room . We will just say it was an "interesting" choice. We have talked it over and decided if we choose that house that we could do a wood trim in the ceiling over the paint strip to make it look a lil less odd. The rooms upstairs have the semi catherdral ceilings and built in shelves that are really neat! I could be really excited about this house too but it would need some work immediately before we would be able to move in.

AHHHHH choices. What do we do. We love the cabin more and more. Then again this new house presented to us would be a REALLY attractive home once it had some work. We could always get a modular and a piece of land. Or we could just stay here in our humble trailer and ROT! We don't want to make a jump decision before we do some research on what is available but the more and more that we look the more and more we are confused. I am needing God to just post a big neon arrow above the house that we are suppose to move on. We could just drive around and look for the arrow that says RIGHT HERE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
