The Search Has Officially Begun...

So, we went from casually looking for a home to actually deciding that we're ready to move forward with the purchase of our first home. So, we've contacted a mortgage broker and a real estate agent (Thanks, Stacy:) so we're ready to get it going. While we know this process can take months because no one wants to settle when making an investment like this, we're also very excited about the possibilities. Jon and I found some great homes over the weekend but it became painfully clear that I would be the one running the show. Jon and I looked at a really nice foreclosure home in Dunwoody last night and we noticed the back deck would probably need to be replaced. Jon's idea - let's replace it with a BRICK deck. Say what? Sure hon - -we'll just replace the WOODEN deck that currently exists and build a brick deck. Brick patio, maybe. This might be a longer road than I thought.


We've already got some houses that we're hoping to look at this Saturday. Stay tuned to see some pics of the homes we're hoping to check out or rule out!

That happened except the exact opposite. Brick deck, whatever. And all this about her running the show is nonsense, I simply told her my only condition is this.
