Today I decided that the boys and I needed to get out of the house for a little bit so we took a drive to San Marcos to see where our house is being built. The last time we went by was right before we left for Houston, almost 2 weeks ago and this was what was done.
And today....this is what we saw...
Notice the difference? Yeah....us either. Other than them adding the rebar, nothing has changed! We were told July 1st that with the wonderful Texas weather, we should expect our house to be built and ready to move in, in 2-3 months! Yeah RIGHT! Meanwhile, the housing market just keeps getting worse and worse and the interest rates keep rising.
Well, I've got news for you, K.B. Homes...you might want to start looking for a new family to buy that house because we are not going to sign the mortgage if the interest rate isn't something we are happy with.
Now the plan is to not worry about it. We are going to wait until the house is closer to being finished and see what the interest rate is. If it's not something we are happy with, then we are going to back out and find another older home. We refuse to get into something that we aren't comfortable with. We want something to just fall into our laps, like it was meant to be, ya know? Naive much?
Heather, you tried to warn me about how stressful buying a house was and I just nodded my head and said, "I can imagine." I lied. I couldn't imagine it back then. Like having a child, I guess it's just one of those things you can't comprehend until you go through it yourself.
Oh, and it's now called "The House" and not "Our House" because I refuse to fall in love with it only to have to walk away from it in the end. Hopefully it will all work out but if not, we know there are other houses out there for us.

I swear buying a house is like planning a wedding. If it can go wrong it will. I'm sorry your going through all of this. So here's to the people who close on a house in two weeks and get pregnant the following week...SUCK IT!!!
Oh gees Teela that stinks. We have actually been talking about building a house also. I just can not imagine adding the stress to our already stressful lives!
BTW I just realized you had a blog or I would have been here along time ago! :)
