House Hunting

When looking at homes we came across the good, bad and just downright ugly. This last house hunting trip started out with the bad and just ugly, or should I say dirty. We walked in and saw garbage left on the floor and the kitchen partly tore apart. I looked in the sink and there is a swarm of bugs that flew up in to my face. There was much more that I could just go on about with that house but I will save that. Trying not to get sick on the smell, we are told the story of why the house is on the market and why the filth. Let’s just say people make illegal choices and leave the “garbage” for others to clean up inside and out.
From the “garbage” house we move on to an elder widowed woman’s home where we were unable to get in since she locked all the doors including the screen door, therefore the keys she gave her broker did not work since the screen door was not to be looked. Steve made the point about elder women locking every door when living alone at that age.
Moving on there were other homes to look at, like the house on a hill with a “pit bull” (who was very nice and just wanted to be loved on and played with) but we finally ended up at the home we had been waiting to see. It was a medium sized home on a quarter acre lot in a cul-de-sac. The house was very nice, as well as the yard. Chad would just love all the grass to run and play ball on and the pond to swim in. Was a bit awkward since the home owners were there but they were very nice and helpful showing us little things and telling us about the area. We would love to go back and look at the home again when more time was available and when the home owners were gone.
When our house hunting day was over it was off to work for me as fast as I could get there and a lot of thinking about what we saw, all the different aspects of the homes and that we wanted to see a few more but of course see that last house with the large yard again. Anyway that is where we are at when it comes to looking at homes. More to see but like Steve wrote our dream is to have a home for Christmas so our little Jellison family can be together.
