Oh, here's a little house update. Not getting my hopes up at all this time, but we viewed a house today that fits 8/10 of the things I want. The only 2 bad things is it's outdated and there's not much of a view, but it's a newer house (late 80s) and looks brand new even with the old appliances and carpet etc. Put in an offer today and will see how it goes
not much land, only an acre, but it's a private street with only 3 other houses on the street and it's super quiet, actually could hear the birds chirping!! If we get it our dogs will love it (kind of funny our house search kind of revolves around our pups lol, spoiled brats)
