Kelli and I have been house hunting. We're to the point in our lives where we'd really like to buy a bigger house - a place to call our own - and settle down. Here's the great side of this story: we have found a house! It's a great 3-bedroom with a really large, finished walkout basement and a "ginormous" garage. We've agreed upon a price with the sellers and they're just about ready to hand over the keys.
Now here's the bad news: naturally Kelli and I don't want to be making two house payments, so we're not closing on the new house until my house is sold. Even worse: who goes house hunting or even buys in the winter? The way we look at it, we're stuck living in my small 1-bedroom house until spring. Now don't get me wrong, it's a great house and I like it a lot. I think the two of us are just ready to upgrade to someplace where we have a bit of room to stretch.
If you know of anyone who would be interested in a 1-bedroom house in Kalona, IA (just 15 miles from the south end of Iowa City!) give me a shout!
