Today Nik and I went house shopping! We were both so excited and also a little nervous, I think. We have a great Realtor who showed us 5 or 6 houses around Davis. We fell in love with the first house we saw, which is a 5 bedroom home pretty close to where we live now. We didn’t like any of the rest (except one that I thought was the cutest thing ever, but the “master bedroom” wouldn’t even fit our bed). One house was SO bad, SO WEIRD…just the strangest thing that’s ever been built…it made the Realtor use antibacterial gel when we left.
We got our hopes set all high for this first house…just a gorgeous place. Nik called George who said, “5 bedroom?” and we realized…we don’t need a 5 bedroom home for 2 people. We were disappointed in our crash back down to reality, but it’s true. It would be pretty foolish (although…imagine the possibilities–a scrapbook room, a bedroom, a room for JoJo, an office, and a guest bedroom…1, 2, 3, 4, 5! That’s 5!).
We’re going to start looking in other areas, including Sacramento. Hopefully we can see some of those next week. Also, hopefully something else opens up in Davis, because we didn’t like what we were left with! It was a fun day, ended with pigging out on pizza and bruscetta downtown. Now we’re relaxing in our robes, getting set to find some more houses to tour…
