justin and i dont know when we can buy a house, hopefully before next summer. so we have been just looking here and there online at houses in olympia to see prices and neighborhoods and get an idea of what we dont want and what we do. i know that my ideal house probably isnt going to happen and we will have to compromise some things, but i am still listing all my desires and we will go from there.

this house is a little further from downtown than we would like, but is really cute VINTAGE HOME and almost exactly what i was picturing. there are a few problems though. the neighborhood is ok, but then right behind this house is a dumpy house and a HUGE dog! no thank you. there is no fence and barely any grass in back. puting down more grass would be doable, but building a fence... hmmm and then there is only one bathroom. i would be willing to do with only one, but i do have a huge love for large tubs and have been dreaming of the day i can take a relaxing bath after the kids go to bed. so potentially if the bathroom is large enough we could add it ourselves BUT this bathroom is tiny! no dishwasher either.

i love are the archetecture and character of it. very bright and open inside and a finished basement which we could use for justins office, slash pool room.... if we have a pool table(= or at least hang out with friends after hours and not be as worried about the kids hearing us. also it has three other bedrooms besides this, so the space is great.  i love the hardwoods also! i guess seeing this house gives me hope we can find something we will like or close to it, but then is discouraging since they are asking 237,500 and it isnt in a very good area and it has no fence??and only one small bathroom. i think it is priced a bit high, but what do i know? but it is fun to look and dream(=
