Checkin' out HOUSES!!

We FINALLY looked at houses last night. It seams like we've been waiting to do this forever, but it's really only been 5 months, I guess that's not that long. I just hope everything goes through with the selling of our house. So, we met with our new buying realtor yesterday and we really like him. Dan decided (and I agree!) that is probably wasn't just "coincidence" that we ran in to this guy. We randomly decided to check out some neighborhoods a few months back and got lost in one and eventually found this "water damaged" house that we had seen listed. We decided just to look in the windows to see inside. We weren't there longer than a few minutes when Harry (our new realtor) drove up and got out of his car. He was super nice and was previewing the house for a client. He let us IN to the house and while we talked to him we really liked him. After meeting with him again last night we are really glad we're going with him. He is super friendly and funny and is just pushy enough that I think he will be great! He is super hopeful and optimistic that we can actually find and settle on a house in the next month, so we wouldn't have to be in an apartment...that would be AWESOME!! He's also great b/c he will preview houses (that's how we first met him) for us and let us know what it's like. We had a great time last night checking out the areas and we went in two houses. We're ready to really start looking....but first, we're off to the BEACH HOUSE for the weekend!!!!

***a big THANK YOU to Mary and Randy for watching the kiddos...you guys are the greatest!!!

I'm so glad to hear things are moving with the house situation...I know how long you guys have had to be patient and I've been thinking of you now and then wondering how it was going. I guess Dan will be thrilled to ditch that commute! Hope you are all well!
