House versus Home!

So some of you may or may not know that we have had our house on the market since January...Ugh.
Bites have been sporadic, not much to tell, with the market the way it is, it still isn't looking good.
I have to give credit to my Hubs, he is only trying to sell and move because of me...
Let me explain.I was very fortunate growing up - I always lived in a "home". We moved many times during my upbringing..military housing, subdivisions, bigger, medium...I was lucky. Although we weren't "rich" per say, we were...we always had a nice house, and everything we needed...most of all, my Mom always made it a "home" (no jab at Dad but he was off fighting for our freedom - love you Dad!).
Here's the difference to me -
I live in a house...don't get me wrong, I am lucky and have a lovely and ample house.
But that is just it, to me it is just a house.
Bob is being kind enough to try to find a way to sell and move so we can find our "home".
He owned this house before he met me and I was living with a girlfriend so we stayed.
I initially had hoped that I would "fall in love" with this house, "love" my 'hood, be bff's with my neighbors...
No, no and no.
So we are in the position of lowering our home price, taking a loss and hoping it sells.
I love the fact that Bob is willing to lose money to make me happy, but if we end up having to stay I will make due until another opportunity arises.
Dudy and Maggie are here in the Ville and make it completely tolerable.
Here is what I hope for:
Sell this house...
Go house shopping and find our dream home...
I tried to explain to Bob, I want a home...
Where I love the bump in the middle of the floor or the squeak in the 3rd step on the stairs.
Where I love that the cabinet doors in the kitchen stick because they have been painted so many times.
Where the air conditioning makes funny noises and the view out my kitchen window makes me smile!
We would love and be best friends with our neighbors and have cookouts every Sunday!
Okay, a little goofy, I know but that is the ideal...
AH, but to dream...

Run safe, run happy!
