Decisions

It's coming down to it. Only 2 1/2 months to go. Then Murray will be here. Ok, so we're not really calling the baby Murray. But it's such a fun name to call him/her while in the womb.
We've got so much to do before then and we're dragging our feet a bit because some of the decisions to be made are just sooo difficult. Are all of life's major decisions this hard? Right now it's mostly about where to live. Being in a townhouse for the last two years has been great in that it's much better than apartment living. No doubt there. And really, our place is great as far as townhouses go. It's big and very nice on the inside. The outside is a bit of a different story, but it's not all that bad. We're just ready to be real homeowners, you know? Have a house that is not connected to anything else. Where we are responsible for everything. Where we actually own land. The kind of place that you envision raising a family.
But it's not that simple. Houses are just so expensive, especially around here and especially in the last 3 years. So we're pushed ever further west in an attempt to find suitable housing at a price that we can possibly afford. And that's the bummer. I actually am getting used to where we are now and there are things like our church that I really don't want to leave. Plus the further west we head, the further away from our families we are which is essentially the reason we're staying in this state in the first place.
So we're stuck. There is no clear cut choice. And the stakes are high. I guess that's a part of life. Making decisions you're ill equipped to make. Just close your eyes and jump.
