Life's ambushed me again. Just as I was all settled in the thought of my settling here, believing all my prayers just went in file 13, surprise! You see, I'm days of beginning the process of purchasing a home in AZ. Now being in Virginia for 8 1/2 years with the exception of the last year and a half, I consider myself a southern lady. I can't think of anywhere else I'd want to just live......Okay I'm not a native, but there isn't anything about the South that I don't like....all right, except for those giant Japanese wasps...(ugh) I can deal with the humidity, the "culture" and everything that goes with Southern living....and before I get distracted which I tend to do sooo easily, I get back to my point.....yeah there's a point.
So being in love with VA, I regularly cruise the real estate ads there, you know, just to see what's going on ......and lo and behold, I there it is....my dream home......
Old, vacant, and deliciously haunted looking....there it was, beckoning to me....like dangling a carrot....once glorious....built in a time when things were simpler....1920....*bites lip*....and waiting for my ever developing interior design skills (I'm an older student, another blog later)...and my mind flashes to what kind of lifestyle the original owners must have had....this 6-8 bedroom house....is it destined to be mine? I research others who have taken on the enormous task of restoring a huge house currently in shambles, barely livable at that....and they say it's a labor of love....that the decade or so invested are well worth it....
So as I am now in the beginning stages of seeing if I can get this house....going back and forth with the banks, the real estate agent who is less than enthusiastic about this house. "I can tell you there is town water TO the house, but I can't tell you if there's a faucet to get it out of"....I'm thinking PERFECT!!!....all I need is a functioning toilet some sort of bathing apparatus and enough electricity for a hot plate...I do not fear ghosts....(yes I believe in them...many blogs to come on that subject as well as other aspects of "dark" things) nor do I fear the challenges that come with taking this on.
Ohhhh but the dreaded "what if"....I don't get it?....Someone else buys it before I can get the loan?.....simple....accept that it was not meant to be mine *pout* and make more effort in finding the one that IS meant for me....and in the meantime, take this house in AZ....*sigh*....
Back to listing....I sell on EBay for a living.....feel free to stop by....LadyBugCreek...(of course!)
