We were prepared and ready...just clueless.

I do not negotiate. I will pay more money so I don't have to make eye contact with you...unless it is something I really care about. But I wanted out of the house. I was ready to give them the pick of my well groomed litter- one of which could read and one that was too young to speak yet. Boy, Girl, the pick was theirs. So, we let our realtor do the work and since Ryan is the money guy, I searched Pinterest.

I had a house to build! Back in January, 34 days before the house went on the market we had a meeting about where we would go once our house sold. We wanted to build. Remember, our mutual obsession began a year earlier and we loved the Internet. That meant that we knew of every home for sale or that sold in our area and in surrounding states! We hadn't found anything that fit our five year old vision for our next step. We knew what we wanted and we knew what we were willing to pay. We were prepared and ready...just clueless.

I had a new mission. Ryan was going to get his four weekends of golf, I was going to get my house. The one I had pieced together from Pinterest. My first assignment was to pick out my cabinets. I immediately downloaded the cabinet catalog and began to build my 3D mock ups of  our kitchen! And since the kitchen was connected to the house I made various mock ups of the entire house.

I love the Internet.
