The first house was on 25 acres of land, with a pond, 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, small kitchen, small living room and huge master. For such a small house the price was a little high. We were hoping the next place close to Albany would be better. We stopped off at my moms. Let Titus take a little nap and we were off again.
The second place wasn't awful on the outside but not beautiful. Just a normal town house. Living room was huge, okay kitchen, basement, 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bath and shared back yard. It was doable. Lots of space and Justin and I filled out an application right away. Big concern was the stairs. We have gates but in my head I'm not sure how they'll go up and stay up. But it's on our list of top houses.
As we headed back into Middleburgh we went and checked out another place. 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 baths? Maybe 1 (I can't remember haha), nice kitchen, living room was ok and old old basement (kinda scary). Cons- the yard, it just drops off into the forest. It looked scary and I don't want Titus dropping into the forest like that. Ceilings in bedrooms were super low to where I know Justin would go to the bathroom in the middle of the night get wacked by the fan and we'd be making an ER trip. It wasn't a favorite. (This house I didn't get a picture of. It was super dark)
That night Justin and I both couldn't sleep well. He stressed about how to organize the moving truck and how many trips he'd make. I kept thinking maybe the house we really like isn't going to work. Maybe it's too expensive and can we afford it? Will we be saving any money living there? I worried about the stairs and where I'd put stuff and etc. I try and decorate in my head and it drives me insane.
The next morning I ask Justin if he's really sure we can afford the house and he says he'll crunch numbers again. He tells me why he couldn't sleep and I tell him we'll figure it out but let's see the other place that's showing today.
We both didn't know what to expect. It's considered a mobile home park but they are more like manufactured homes. We've seen a lot of ghetto mobile home parks. We didn't have high hopes but it was in a really nice area. My mom has told me a few times how nice Clifton Park is. I hoped for the best. We drive in and I notice everyone has decent cars. It doesn't look ghetto. The only thing is the homes are a little close but not too bad. We walk in and were greeted by Bob. Wow it's really nice inside. Living room is an okay size, kitchen modern and really nice, 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. Rooms are a little smaller than the town house and we won't have as much storage but we both really liked it. Justin doesn't even ask me if we should fill out an application just tells the guy, "yep lets do this. We'd like an application." We really like it and are hoping it works out. It's brand new and hasn't been lived in. It's our number one choice. A lot of other people applied so there's a chance we won't get it. But we were the only ones without pets. He said that would bump us up the list. Lets hope it does! Everyone say little prayers for us. We really want it.
