indecisive, as always.

Anthony & I have been looking at houses in Fort Payne for about a week now & I think we have it narrowed down to two. We're going to look at four tomorrow though so it's still up in the air. All of the houses have their own pros & cons. I love something about each of them, if I could take each of the things I love about them & combine them into one home...it would be perfect. Unfortunately, our budget & time frame does not allow for that. So, I thought I would ask your opinion on the houses we're considering:) I know it doesn't matter what others think as long as we love our house but like I said, I'm indecisive...ALWAYS. :( It's also very important to us that we be able to sell the place quickly in case I decide to be a big 'ol fraidy cat & want to come back to Cullman. That means that some of the things, like the built in entertainment center in house #2, might be too specific for some's taste therefore they wouldn't purchase it because of that, thus, it sits on the market & I cry like a baby. In other words, we worry about the resale....In other words, I over analyze everything & have lost lots & lots of precious sleep over this decision. HELP!!! Please?!?!?!?!







#1 - I LOVEEE the front doors & stacked stones on this one!
3 bedroom/2 bath- 1601 sqft $154,500 in Fort Payne...our preferred area.

#2 - I'm not as crazy about the outside of this one but it's bigger & the inside is GORGEOUS!
It's 4 bedroom/2 bath- 1,940 sqft $179,900 in Rainsville, less desirable but still a very good location.

 LOVE this kitchen!

 There are lots of built ins...I love them but others (if we need to sell) might not.

#3 - Anthony & I love that this one has a three car garage.
It's 4 bedroom/2.5 baths, unsure of the sqft. $169,900 in Rainsville, a little bit closer to his job than the other Rainsville home though.

I'm pretty sure we won't go with #3 but Anthony really loves the 3 car garage so I thought it was worth mentioning.

So what it really comes down to is, do we want location & a lower price...or space & gorgeous details???

Thanks for any input you provide:)

We're moving! (I think?)





Fort Payne, Alabama



I turned 21 on December 29, 2010...I also found out on this day that my DH had received a job offer making lotsa mora monayyy. Awesome! Then I found out it was in Fort Payne:(  WOAH...stop the bus...That's two hours away from our hometown, our families, friends & everything we've ever known. sniff...sniff...waaaaaahhhhhhh. Ok, those were my first thoughts & at times it still makes me sad but we've visited Fort Payne twice now & I think I might actually enjoy it (a little...but don't tell my hubs)  It definately sweetens the deal that I get a new house out of the move! Woop! Woop! (did I mention I loveee decorating new spaces?) I get bored easily so I've long ago became tired of the house we currently live in. Anyway, the job is at a place called Plasman & my DH is VERY excited about it. It's the job he's dreamed of having for years & we never dreamed at age 21 he would have such an incredible opportunity. 

For those of you, like me until recently, who don't know or have never heard of Fort Payne, Alabama, here's a few quick facts about it:

1. It's the "Official Sock Capital of the World"  SCORE! I'll never go sockless (is that a word?) again!
2. It's a city in Dekalb County with a population of about 13k.
3. For a time beginning in 1989, Fort Payne held the world record for "Largest Cake Ever Baked", for a cake of 128,238 pounds baked to commemorate the city's centennial...I like cake, how bad could this place be?
4. The country music group Alabama is based in Fort Payne. The city also houses the group's Fan Club and Museum.
5. It's part of the annual "World's Longest Yard Sale"



Ok, I know I left lots out but I hate to bore you all at once...I'll let you recover & I'll fill you in on all the other details later:)

One nice thing about Fort Payne though is the views! I loveee the mountains:)
