House Hunt

The house search has kicked into high gear.

Mark and I have been looking off and on… here and there… for about 3 years. Every time we see a house for sale, we jump out and pull the info sheet. Usually we’re dismayed at the cost.

Apparently, we’re making this move about 3 years too late. We should’ve done it back when we first thought we needed the extra space. We’ve seen houses go on sale again that were on the market 3-4 years ago and we’re shocked at how the price has jumped and we’re kicking ourselves that we didn’t just do it then.

Grrrrr…… How were we supposed to know that the market would climb to scary proportions and we’d start to wonder if it would ever come down?

Alas….

We have a baby due Nov 2 and I’d really like a place to put the little thing. Ginger has 4 pet beds so perhaps they could share? … Doubtful. As of right now, our little girl will either room with my piano in the ‘music room’ or room with Mark’s ‘stuff’ in what I believe he calls his ‘office’ – though that’s up for debate.

But now we have a realtor. Yes, we’re very serious now. He’s supposed to help us find the home of our dreams AND sell our place. How about that?! Yes, yes I know… realtors have been around a long time doing that very thing but hearing him talk about what he could do for us was fabulous! Finally, we’re not on our own!

So, here goes. Here goes the big search. We drove passed about 30 homes over the weekend and we’re set to walk through a few of them today. So we’ll see. Please, please, please send positive vibes out into the universe for us!

Please?…
