Dreaming of a house

We are sort of in the market for a house right now; we are in the very baby stages of figuring out what we want, what we can afford, and how to go about getting a home of our own. In the past I have not been known for my tremendous patience, and I don't anticipate that being one of my strong suits anytime soon. That said, I am already dreaming of what said house might look like and contain. Here is my wish list:
  • A dishwasher whose name does not start with "Lisa"
  • His and hers bathroom sinks
  • More than one toilet
  • A shower and bathtub
  • A nice view
  • Big windows
  • Lots of sunshine for my plants
  • A separate dining room--screw this "Great Room" crap...there's nothing great about it
  • Space for a guest bedroom
  • Space for an office
  • Room for multiple gardens: vegetable, floral, and fruit
  • My own washer and dryer, front loading would be ideal
  • Lots and lots of storage space
  • A 2-3 car garage (I'm dreaming, remember?)
  • A patio
  • Kitchen and bathroom drawers that slide smoothly and are clean
  • NOT a tiled bathroom floor or shower
  • NOT a pedistal sink
  • A finished basement
  • A good space to take off shoes and coats when you walk in

oh Lisa!!! I'm excited for you to have a HOME someday soon, with all of these things and more!! When my parents were looking for houses a long time ago, my mom had a list as well, and she got even more than what was on her list, for example, she asked for a fireplace, and got 2! So lists are good and prayer is the BEST!!! I believe you will find what you are looking for!! easier said than done, i know! i'm believing for other things myself ;)
