Time to Blog: House Hunters Commerce TX

Today was the fifth or sixth day of house hunting.  I'm a big fan of HGTV and love House Hunters.  Lori and Julie went with me to try and narrow down the hunt and actually find a place to live!  It began on-line with a list of seven houses. Our realtor, Quay, is really patient with me and lets me see some places two and three times.  In our family, we name the houses in order to remember which ones they are--example the house in the country with a little guest house is tagged "dwarf house," no reason, just a Jeff name.  I usually can't remember the street names so that is the reason for the names.

We started with the "FRAT" house--it really is a fraternity house.  One of the guys forgot to get the message and leave--but that is a different story for another day.  Five bedrooms and two bathrooms.  Wow!  It was huge, smelly, and dirty.  Next!  The Ash house was a little cottage that was designed by someone who loved color.  Orange on the ceiling with red walls, lime green in the bedroom--really a fix-er upper.  Moving on...walked out of one--stinky--saw one way out of our price range, but beautiful--several others, and then came the moment to narrow down to three.  I didn't have a problem.  The three were in no order 1) Ash street, 2)BriarHOOD, 3) Golf yard--yes one was golf yard.  We were just like the house hunters.  Narrowed down to three and put in an offer--you will have to wait to see whether we get a house!  Stay tuned!
