Day 1

Whew. It's been a long day. Solid houses for 4 hours...over 10 today. You know what, though? I loved every minute. Houses and scrapping, those are my things.

Anyway, we met our Realtor at 9 am. He had horrible news. Our top two picks were already sold in the last few days. And, a close third was pulled off the market. We were crushed. I was sure one of those top two were going to be ours. I guess it wasn't meant to be.

So, we cruised on over to House number 1.

I really wanted a pool. Not this pool. The green, the above ground-ness and the sloping deck is totally NOT good.

I probably don't have to tell you that #1 is not the one for us. Too small, too outdated and not a good flow.

Then, we flew to option 2! Okay, okay we didn't fly. But, it rhymed and that was fun. Okay, so house 2. We kind of ruled that one out yesterday. We weren't thrilled with it's location. The price was high-ish, behind it were condos/townhouses and there was still going to be construction. BUT, we liked the interior photos so we decided to at least look. Doesn't hurt!

I loved the hardwood that there was. I loved the finishes. BUT, in the end it was 3 bedrooms with a bonus room and loft area. And, the kitchen configuration just wasn't for me. You add the less than desirable area and it's just not our house.

There are more...hold on and I will be back!
