joe and i are starting the house buying process. we met with our realtor on tuesday, and we really like her. i think she’d be tough in negotiating price. 
we stopped by one house we liked last night, but the neighborhood really isn’t that great. think plants in tires in the front yard. enough said. and that was at the house we were looking at! the other yards didn’t look like they were kept up, which shows how much the residents care about their neighborhood.
we also went by another house we are interested in, and we have an appointment to look around inside on sunday. i really like it. it has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, which is the right size for us. it also has an above ground pool, a basketball hoop and a two car garage. and, it is well under the price we were looking for, which is another plus.
wish us luck!
