House Hunt

If all goes as planned, Adam and I will hopefully be in a position to purchase a home by the end of this year. :) We are working really hard to be able to close by November 30th so we can get the $8,000 tax credit for first time buyers who purchase in 2008. Truth be told, I am kind of superstitious talking about this because of my tendency to be more of a pessimist than an optimist. I think it's just my way of protecting myself. But...I'm just SOOO EXCITED and can't resist sharing. Okay now for the good part....we spent all day yesterday driving around looking at houses in the Alpharetta/Cumming area. Although we found a lot of houses that we liked, none of them were really WOWING us. We want a growing neighborhood with an active community...lots of kids and families, a pool with a separate section for the kiddies, tennis courts, etc. Many houses that we found were nice, but none of them really had the type of amenities we like. I don't mean to sound nit picky, but this is a house that we want to be in for a long time and raise our kids in, so all of these things are very important to us. Just when we were about to call it a day....we found our dream area. As much as I want to go into extreme detail right now, I am still super paranoid. Let's just say we are seriously looking into it and praying it all works out for us to close on a beautiful home by the end of this year. I'll keep you posted as we embark upon this journey. Wish us luck!!
