Yup...it's orangy-pink, but we looked at another one this morning that was really pink! Crazy, huh?! So the things we like about this house... it has 4 bedrooms, two that are really large on the top floor, a living room, new windows and 2 1/2 foot walls with extra insulation, an outside garage, car-port and storage room, two yards, and a large (maybe too large?) garden area.A few more things we like about the house is that the garage/storage room could be transformed into a guest house type thing, the kitchen is old and outdated, but that's great because we could redo it to how we like it. Amy really likes this! : ) Most of the house has been updated (it was built in the 40's), but not the kitchen and that's great so we can do it how we like. The house also has a chimney that has been closed but could be re-opened if we wanted to get a fireplace and the kitchen has an old built in stove fireplace for baking breads or pizzas. It's also closed, but could be re-opened.
A few other things we would change about the house include putting in some glass doors off the dining room to the back yard, adding a second bathroom upstairs and changing out the staircase. The one there now is really, really narrow and steep.
So here is a link to a website if you want to see more: Sencur house-Pipanova
We looked at two others today and the first one we came out wondering how the people are ever going to sell their house. We thought it was just terrible. But it was good to see it so we could see the value in the other house. Then we saw another house here in Sencur for quite a bit more money, just to see the difference and it was nice, but was built in the 70's and really looks like it.
Here are some pictures of the bathroom and kitchen to give you an idea:
They're nice, not at all in bad condition, but just not "us" and we'd want to change that out but this house is quite a bit more expensive than the other and we wouldn't have any funds afterward to make any changes like that.So...all that to say we just wanted to fill y'all in so you won't be too surprised when you hear that we're buying a house! If we do end up buying that first house...it won't even be available until August, so we wouldn't even be moving until September or so. It's nice to have that extra time to think and pray and make sure that is where the Lord would want us for the next chunk of time.

I like the color! And sounds perfect for you guys. Did you get the financing worked out? Thanks for all the info!
we need to work on the financing. we can't get a loan in the states and only one bank give one here to americans and the interset rate is crazy, so we need to find another way. any ideas?
I pulled up the link to look at the house. It is really nice! I can see Amy working her magic in there very easily. We'll have to pray about the financing. I'm sure there is a solution. By the way, in case you didn't hear, the Turkey trip got nixed - not enough interest. Too bad.
Larry emailed me and let me know. I was bummed. It would have been so fun. You can even ask amy, it was going to be the highlight of my year. Guess it will just have to wait:)
