An interesting thing I've picked up on, about house shopping: any properly educated home-buyer isn't supposed to view his or her final pick as "the one," because that title implies that you hold a romanticized and naive view of said house. Instead, as Daniel and I have been learning from our very helpful realtor, you should view a house as objectively as possible, paying little attention to "the feel" of the house and much attention to the house's floor plan, square footage, foundation issues, and other more "practical" or "boring" attributes. Although my appreciation for these kinds of things has grown substantially over the past several months of house-hunting, it is hard to ignore that "I'm-home" feeling that tends to overtake even the most cautious home buyer when he or she has found "the one". It's probably too early to disclose details about the house we found today, but I'm pretty sure we'll be calling it home in a few months. And as soon as I'm granted permission, I will update with photos and details galore!

LOL. Very true. Hey, if you "follow" my blog you won't have to keep checking to see if I have updated it--you'll get an email when I do.
