We went up to Richmond to house-hunt. We went prepared with a list of our top 40 houses that we were excited to see. These houses appeared to be the type of houses that you could advertise as "The Perfect American Dream." But as we all will agree, recently the American dream lacks the luster that it once had and these houses were no exception.
We got into Richmond mid-day Saturday, and after 4 hours in the car getting there, we hopped into the car with the realtor for 5 HOURS more. Not only was this a grueling day sitting on my rump, but my beautifully prepared, OCD list was cut into shreds. Gone. To be no more. Square one.
So the search began again; this time with hopes that were not so lofty. But to make a long story short: After 4 MORE DAYS of looking at houses we found a great home in the city limits in a WONDERFUL neighborhood lined with sidewalks and trees way older than I am. It's so cute and quaint! I wish I had a picture of the house, but my camera decided to cut out half the pictures I took (any suggestions for camera replacements?).
We are very excited about the house! The home inspection was today and there weren't any major problems so it looks like we're good to go!
