Got a call from the bank. We ARE qualified for a house loan, but not for as much as I thought we would be, mainly because Jessie has not been at this job long, so they don't want to put his income down as what it is now. SO, he went ahead and put me in contact with an agent, who put us on a "drip list" based on what we want. Basically, the system will automatically send us new listings that meet our criteria. However, Jessie and I are not willing to settle for less than what we want, even if it means waiting another few years, so she suggested we might want to talk to the bank about a new construction loan, and if we can find land, we may be able to get a good deal on building a house and get exactly what we want. So we are going over our options now about the loan choices and everything. I am kind of relieved though because now I don't have to stress as much since we are taking our time. They said take as long as we want. Also, this'll give us the chance to fix us the our place EXACTLY how we want it. I want a new table, outdoor furniture, which will hopefully be on sale toward the end of summer. I also want to keep buying decorations and such. That way, when we do decide to buy, we will be able to set it up exactly how we want it to look...I guess that will be my last update on this for awhile, except a few small things here and there. Like I said, I am just glad we are in there, on the list, and approved. We'll see what happens next....
By the way, here is the house we looked at before that we just fell in Love with:
