House Shopping

Shopping, depending on who you are that word can either make you smile or want to run and hide! Shopping for a house in a city - when you've grown up and always lived in the country, has been a learn as we go situation. Today the lending officer at the bank called with our pre-approval for a mortgage - another key piece of our puzzle. They, however, will not give us a loan for a handy-man special. Their inspector will make sure that the house is in "move-in condition". Ok, that narrows our search again. Shopping for a house in Cleveland for us means hours on-line researching neighborhoods and houses for sale. Ken was up in Cleveland this weekend and was able to go inside a few that we liked on-line. We are still waiting for clear direction from our loving heavenly Father.
