House Hunting...

...has begun!

So we loved our condo for about a week. Then the walls started to close in on us. Walking the dog is a chore. Climbing all those stairs with our groceries is NO FUN. Parking in a parking lot and not in our garage....totally not cool. Especially when it gets cold. Having 1/2 of our STUFF in storage - icky phooey ka ka... You get the picture.

We were really gung ho on building our new home but after being in Oak Harbor and being close to everything we got spoiled. And upon arriving here it became very clear that buying a home would be much easier than building...and being close to the girls' schools is very important to us, esp as they enter teenage-hood and high school.

So last night our home search began and we will be going to see a neat looking house near the Junior High. It's exactly where I wanted to buy and the price is good. It needs work - it's stuck in 1983....but we're ready for some projects. I really think it might be a "hidden gem". I'll keep you posted.
