Is this the one?

Last week we went to a see a house. A house that we both really, really like. Actually, I love this house. This is only the sixth house we've looked at in person, but we've spent the last few months pouring over listings everyday and have seen hundreds of houses online.

We've been looking at or so different cities in this county, and feeling like we've run out of options, were starting to look into other nearby counties too. This house is in one of the original cities we were looking at.

It has the right number of bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms. The kitchen and eating area is on the small side, especially for what we had in the previous house, but I think with a little creativity (and closet updates) we can make it work. The best part is an office for Marc to work in, one that is not one of the bedrooms. There is also a room for the kids to play, which is a high priority on our list.

We are currently waiting on papers from the seller, and if these are satisfactory, we'll be seeing the house again. I personally want to skip all this and jump right in with an offer, but considering our past house buying experience, being thorough and patient is really the best plan of action.

This is the first of what I hope to be many updates on the process of getting into our home.
