Making the Right Decision

I generally don't bother myself on whether the decisions I make were the right ones. For the most part, I am content with the decisions that I have made and while I might have changed a few (I should have studied more in college!), there are no things that I have done that in retrospect are mind-shatteringly different.

We recently came upon the quandry of buying a house that I am in love with. This is not the optimal time for us to buy a home for a myriad of reasons, but here it is with the opportunity for us to buy it plopped right in our laps. If we buy the house, we will have no money. The house needs work. It is livable in its current condition, but needs some love in the upkeep department, as well as the fact that it just needs some things changed to make it workable in the long run. All these things cost money with the addition to the monthly mortagage. Do you buy the house? It looks like we are, and I really hope it is the right decision. I think it is, but Chadd thinks it is not. He is humouring me on this one, for which I am very appreciative.

I think the whole thing is a gamble, but one with what I feel the odds are heavily in our favor. I honestly think at this point I am ok with trying and failing. If you don't try, you'll never know if you would have succeeded or not, right?

In other house news....the new roof is on! Looks fancy! Check out the ridge vent. :) The things that amuse me these days! Even if we don't get the house, I am glad the roof is on. The longer that it sat the worse shape it was going to get in.
