House-hunting

We began the house-hunting process this weekend which coincided perfectly with the warm weather that moved into Chicago. Made for a rather enjoyable drive around the environ of Buffalo Grove. Yes, the ideal would be to find another house that we can call home in our Village since we like it so much. Unfortunately this was met with sleepless nights as our minds churned over the images and figures associated with buying a home. Will it meet our needs, are we over-committing, should we expand the search to more neighborhoods??? So far, we have found two houses that have gotten us really excited. The first we wrote off the next day because it was simply too close to a major route and the noise was just too noticeable (and it was a bit of a fixer-upper). The other is a little too close to power-lines for our liking, but the home seems perfect beyond that. Inna is already packing her bags to move in. I would still like to see a few more homes before making the big commitment.
