It's back!

After a few days of sadden hearts, Kevin saw it re-posted. That weekend Mom, Dad, Maggie, and Jonathan join us to have another (more thorough) look at Summit. Over a great lunch at a local diner, we discussed the condition of the house and the work that would be needed on it. A list was constructed on a napkin and the creative minds in all of us began whirling.

Oh NO!

It is Thanksgiving time and Kevin went to show someone the "Summit" home, but it was no longer listed on craigslist! That night we both talked about how we really grew to like that home. We talked about its big backyard, the amazing screened in porch, the large kitchen with breakfast bar. It had an open kitchen/dining/living room. Two bedrooms and a craft room! Lots of light.

But it was gone...

"Guess what I saw on craigslist..."

That is how many conversations begin in our house. At first it was Kevin's conversation starter, then I joined in. Since we moved to A., Kevin started poking around the "real estate for sale" section and would come home once in a while with an ad to show me. Then we moved to here and the "what do you think?" emails would pop up. Finally, late this summer we found a house that we really liked. I suggested we talk to a realtor, just to get a feel for what the process of buying a house entailed. We saw a couple of houses (including the one original from craigslist), but weren't too excited about any of them. We even visited our current home, but felt it might have been more of a fixer upper than we wanted. The search continued...
