The houses...

The first house we were about to put an offer on was really cute!



I couldn't believe that I loved the yellow kitchen, but I did! We had plans for this house. It is close to the water on Kent Island! We were going to add a garage and a room above the garage for Walter's office, and maybe a playroom too! This house has no basement, so we needed somewhere for storage. I was pretty excited that we finally found something we could make work when all of a sudden Walter asked as we were standing in the kitchen..."What's missing?" It took us a few minutes when all of a sudden we realized there was no dishwasher! Been there, done that! Moving on!!



So, the next day, our last day, we headed out to see this house. It was 4 bedrooms, as opposed to the 3 bedrooms in the other house, and it already has a garage with a HUGE room above it.



It wasn't really exciting, but we decided we could make it work. It was also close to the water. All the homes around it were millions of dollars! The floors were also uneven and the stairs were wood and pretty steep. I had my concerns, but it was the best we had found. We decided we would make an offer on it, but secretly we were hoping that our offer was just too low and that they wouldn't accept it. And, aren't we so cute in this hammock? I don't think it came with the house, either! We just thought we were cute, and we needed a picture for church.



So, while our Realtor went to write up the offer we told her we would look around the town and meet her back at her office. Well, I wasn't really excited and had seen a sign for some new build homes starting in the $190's, so we decided to go and check them out. Needless to say after about 3 minutes in the new community we called our Realtor and told her we had changed our mind again. And, that is where we sit right now. We are waiting for the mortgage company and the builder to accept our offer. Hopefully tomorrow is our lucky day!

We only had about 1 hour at Ryan Homes, and then we had to head for the airport to catch our flight home. To entertain the kids at the airport we gave them the cameras...



And, lots of chocolate. Hoping they would enjoy the sugar high in the airport, and the sugar coma on the plane. Didn't work quite like I had planned, but it sure tasted good!
