The Hunt is On

Today marked our first official day of house hunting. We didn't know what to expect, was she going to drive us around in her car? Were we going to see all of the 17 houses we asked about?

She did in fact drive us around in her car and we wound up only getting to see 5 houses (all the other ones we had picked were already off the market).We found one we're putting in an offer on (how could you not fall in love with that yard) while ruling out the ones with dinky yards or dinky houses. To top the whole day off I turned the handle to look in the master bathroom of a home to find it locked....with the owner letting me know he was inside! He just forgot they were showing the house! Even the realtor was a bit shocked. Ahh, the sport of house hunting.

Hey, just stopped by from SITS. Glad you found a house already!

Good luck with the house. I am much too indecisive to put an offer down the first day.
Dropped by from SITS.
