But when we do buy a house we both agree we'd love to be able to buy our forever home, so we'll see what happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-817864 Thu, 30 May 2013 11:46:08 +0000 LuLu Mom 817864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at all, and we knew that when buying it. It was our starter home. Next home will hopefully be out forever home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-817845 Thu, 30 May 2013 11:39:29 +0000 ValentineMommy 817845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, unless we win the lottery! </p> <p>We're in a 3000sf, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath. I'd like to finish the basement for some extra space and update one of the bathrooms, but that's about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-806311 Fri, 24 May 2013 00:14:26 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 806311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Our two bedroom, two and a half bathroom townhouse is perfect for just the two of us now though. We hope to get into our bigger, forever home in the next couple of years. Ideally, a four or five bedroom, three bathroom house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-806298 Fri, 24 May 2013 00:06:32 +0000 Boogs 806298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsjets: We talk a lot about that. Traffic is pretty horrific around here so we worry about commute times. So it's more space/less time at home vs less space/more time at home...we keep going back and forth on what the right thing to do is. Plus we are so close to family and we see them a lot so we aren't sure if we want to give that up either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-806056 Thu, 23 May 2013 21:20:14 +0000 jmarionsmith 806056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>definitely not. i hope our next home will be our forever home, but who knows! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-806052 Thu, 23 May 2013 21:18:17 +0000 Springtime 806052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! Way too small. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-805910 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:44:38 +0000 Boogs 805910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: Wow that sounds fabulous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-805862 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:30:49 +0000 PurplePumps 805862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, it's our first and forever. 2700 sf + 400 finished basement, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath on 2 flat acres. We just need a kid or two to fill it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-805853 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:28:21 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 805853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not. We'd like to have some more land one day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-805792 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:11:59 +0000 Weagle 805792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I certainly hope not, but it wouldn't be awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-805721 Thu, 23 May 2013 20:00:39 +0000 Boogs 805721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Very true!</p> <p>@Pepper: Good point, it can be.</p> <p>@chopsuey119: So soon, how exciting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-805712 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:59:11 +0000 Foodnerd81 805712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not. We are renting a 2 bedroom condo that we will definitely outgrow in a few years, but that was the intention. </p> <p>DH doesn't really like the idea of a forever home-- he feels like we should have the nicest home we can afford, even if it means moving. I tend to disagree, I'd rather have a home that is good enough and we can make our own. So,... we'll see where that goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-805711 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:59:10 +0000 Mrsjets 805711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Boogs: yes it really is! Except in autumn when all the leaves fall :p Would you ever consider moving a little further from your neighborhood for some extra land? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-805688 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:54:40 +0000 chopsuey 805688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. We'll be moving to our forever home in less than a year though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-805687 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:54:29 +0000 Pepper 805687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure! We just built our house and I love it, but forever is a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-805682 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:54:08 +0000 autumnlove 805682@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think so but circumstances can change....more kids, in laws moving in, etc! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-805676 Thu, 23 May 2013 19:53:06 +0000 Boogs 805676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsjets: Wow that amount of land sounds heavenly! Sadly we will probably never have that kind of space if we stay in our area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-804306 Thu, 23 May 2013 15:34:38 +0000 MapleMoose 804306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, this is a starter home and we plan on moving again when our family outgrows it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-804296 Thu, 23 May 2013 15:32:50 +0000 MarieJ 804296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we're in our starter home. We're in the process of getting it ready to sell and finding our forever home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-804285 Thu, 23 May 2013 15:30:58 +0000 Mrsjets 804285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! It's large enough for 3 kidos, has an acre of land, and is in a very desirable neighborhood just 2 minutes outside the city. I can't wait to get all the 70's out of it though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-804256 Thu, 23 May 2013 15:26:40 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 804256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. It's nice and we built it but its about 1600 square feet so we will eventually grow out of it. It's fine for now though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-804191 Thu, 23 May 2013 15:16:52 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 804191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. This is it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-804142 Thu, 23 May 2013 15:08:46 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 804142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we will need to get a larger home one day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-804135 Thu, 23 May 2013 15:07:59 +0000 regberadaisy 804135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup!!! Only reason why we're spending so much time &amp; money gutting and renovating! Plan to raise our family here. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-804122 Thu, 23 May 2013 15:06:37 +0000 Alivoo01 804122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! We bought our current home with the intentions of it being a starter home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-804106 Thu, 23 May 2013 15:03:56 +0000 tinyperson 804106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, it's 2 bdrm plus den, but no basement, and it's a stacked town home, so there are people on 3 sides and above us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/forever-home#post-751169 Thu, 23 May 2013 15:00:00 +0000 Boogs 751169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Would you consider the home you live in now your forever home? </p> <p>Ours ideally isn't. We only have 1 LO and we are all ready running out of space! </p>
