Feeling Crammed in this House

Last week Kyle, Kade and I walked through some model homes within our ward boundaries. There was one floor plan that I really liked....it had a huge kitchen! I was dying. All of the space. It would be glorious for meal preparation. I have been entertaining the idea of what if. How much could we sell our house for, how much would the payment be, there would be so much space for our stuff and the problem solved of where to put new baby boy. But the price is crazy high...lower than a resale but still high and that's just a stock model. They don't add in lot premiums, upgrades, etc. We would need more money for blinds and paint and there are always things to be purchased with a new home. Reality and my sensibility set in. We can make do in this house, living with a comfortable mortgage payment, security to do something if Steve changes work plans, and continue to save money for a rainy day. I am glad that Steve and I think the same way and am glad that I was taught to save, and sacrifice and then buy what we need when we can afford it. So the plan remains: SAVE and STAY and stop looking at model homes!
