home on the range


Artist rendering of our future home, except our exterior colors are "pebblestone clay" and "desert sand" -- don't ask us which color is for siding or shingles, because we don't remember. Homebuying has it's ups and downs, which we have come to experience.

Ups:
- Going through Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, Restoration Hardware, and other preppy home decor catalogs, circling things you like and pretending you're going to buy them after you move
- Researching cool fixtures for your home
- Counting down the days until you move out of your hot, cramped apartment and into your own living space

Downs:
- Figure out all the paperwork and financial blah-blahs
- Realizing you're going to be dirt poor for the rest of your life
- Counting down the days until you move out of your hot, cramped apartment and into your own living space and realizing it's six months away
- Having to move in to your parents home because the rent at the aforementioned apartment is going up to almost the mortgage of a small home
