We all know how this goes. This consists of me finding something I like and Dan absotluely hating it. Then he finds something and *BAM* I HATE IT.
Sometimes I wonder what drew us to each other because we are so different and want such different things!
We have a max budget of 200K for a house (unless we can come up with the down payment to make up for the difference. And we are somewhat limited on what we can get for that price. Dan would like a turn-key, as would I, but they are either too small or over 60 years old and in need of a lot of work.
So today I find out that Dan really likes this house on Nellie Ave, in North Pole! That's right! North Pole!!!
Any one who knows Dan knows that he hates North Pole more than anything.
But here's the deal.
He's gone half the year anyways, and really it's me who would have to deal with getting to work and back. I'd love to be near my parents if anything went wrong in the cold of winter, and to be honest Fairbanks is getting to big for me anyways.
When I think of a place that I want my daughter to be raised in, I'd rather her grow up in North Pole by far.
So I'm not pressing the issue. I just think the thing that is driving me crazy at the moment is that the place that he likes, I really like too! OR I at least like it enough to agree with Dan into buying it! It's literally right across the street from a good friend. And we'd be on the back of Chena lakes where we could do tons of outdoor stuff. (IE: fishing, 4-wheeling etc...)
So there you have it, we actually like the same thing, FOR ONCE!!
So why am I not running out there screaming, "I'll BUY IT!!!" ? Because it's 30K over budget.
How frustrating.
Take a look for your self. It's a beauty.
