the search for a new home

So 9 years ago my Husband and I purchased the house we live in now (almost to the day it was July 19, 2002).  We wanted to get a house that we could live in for the rest of our lives.  At the time this house was the best house we looked at and was in our price range.  We had tons of room and about half an acre of land it seemed perfect.  Fast forward  9 years and we now have 2 children and all the "junk" that comes along with them.  Seriously how do these little people take up so much space?  Also in this time period my husband has found a love for gardening and wants a big garden and a bunch of land to possible do cow or sheep or something.  So in February of 2010 after we had just found out we were pregnant with #2 we started looking for a new house with some land.  We found a small house with 16 acres that was a short sale, my husband was in love I was ok with it.  The house was no bigger than what we had and was smaller in some spaces than I would like.  We did make an offer but the house was going to foreclosure and the owners sold off all the stuff that helped make the house worth buying and their realtor would not even show them the offer.  So we moved on.  We have looked at so many houses it is not funny and it always seems that there is either a great piece of property and a crappy house or a great house and crappy property.  Several weeks ago we looked at an awesome house with not awesome but great property, today we looked at a house that has both a great house and awesome property and we are going to look at one more house on Monday and weight our options.  I pray that one of these three houses is going to be our new house.  I am so tired of searching and searching.
