In addition to preparing for an art event and starting ballet classes, I decided to take on another hobby: house hunting! After seeing Vicki purchase the house of her dreams, and hearing of other friends joining the hunt, Joe and I decided to do it, too (yes, monkey see, monkey do, ha ha ha).
It has been a whirlwind three days since we first made contact with our real estate agent, and we have already seen four properties. We would have seen more but the real estate market appears to be picking up again with listings being taken off the market just as we request a viewing; one house was snatched up on the first day of listing.
Hopefully, as I become an old pro at this, I will stop dreaming of houses and waking up to a racing heart at 6am.

Good luck on the hunt! A lot of it is about luck and timing, so don't buy unless you love it! And be prepared to sprout a few gray hairs. And fod God's sake, don't get mortgage insurance if you put more than 20% on your downpayment--GO WITH TERM LIFE INSURANCE.
And don't forget about Home Insurance, too!
