After a Day of House Hunting...

We're back from the house search. I think we saw about 10 houses in about 4 hours (some more than once) all over town. Some of these were deceiving with urine stained (and smelly) carpets and the most horrific backyards - yuck! It was so great to have a realtor (parent of a student in the youth group) take us around town. He was SO helpful when it came to what we should be looking for. If we ever buy, we'd definitely buy with him after all of his help free of charge. He really doesn't make anything but a relationship in taking us out all Saturday - he hopes that the gesture would mean we'd refer people to him. Great strategy!

So after today Jake and I have narrowed it down to 2 favorites. If you click on the link "here" below on my last post, you'll be able to see them. Our two faves are 1.) Stampede Dr. and 2.) Joseph Way. Pray that we get one of these 2 that we've selected. We're actually in negotiations with Stampede to get them to lower their rent if we sign for 18 months. (18 months is our strategy to never ever ever have to move in August again.) :) It's really really nice. So... we'll see what happens!
