Strike 1.

Well we went to see the house that we thought was going to be our new home . . .

I mean really . . . absolutely beautiful!!
Brand new appliances and just perfect.
Oh wait . . what's that behind that plant? An unfinshed floor and a random pipe?!
Beautiful modern bathroom! Too bad it's the only full bath (no tub though) in the house and it's downstairs with all the bedrooms upstairs.
We would even have a pool in our backyard! A couple of them!
Beautiful living room! All updated and very home-y!
Except the edges were all weird . . . .
The doors and windows weren't framed. The steps needed carpeted or finished some how.
Pretty much the entire upstairs needs redone.
Master bedroom . . . a good start.
The 1/2 bath (and only bath) upstairs.
Overall it is a beautiful house on very good property, but it's waaay too expensive for everything that needs done to it. Very good structure, but lots of work. If it was like $100K less, we would take it! . . . . Back to the hunt . . . . .

Home Shopping Tonight!

Eeek!! We are starting our home buying search in Erie tonight!!

Our realtor is actually our track & field coach from college (he coached Shane in high school too)!

I am super excited because we both LOOOOVEEE this house we are going to see tonight. We always drive by it on our way home and say . . "man, if that house goes up for sale, that would be awesome!" And it did!! We NEVER expected it to, because it's so beautiful and in a great location!

I can't give away the details because I don't want anyone else going out to buy it! :-P

I am really nervous though because we are still trying to sell our house in Virginia, and not quite sure how that works with trying to get another loan. Especially when you go the short sale route with your other home. Ugh. Anyone know?!

I just really hope it all works out, because this house would be awesome. We could finally settle down.
