House Hunting

Adam and I have started a search for a condo to buy. At first we thought about houses, but for what we can afford here, a condo is a better option if you don't want to live in the ghetto or live in something that is pretty run down and needs a ton of work.

We have looked at quite a few places and most of them are your standard college apartment setup (nicer though, lots have hardwood floor, nice appliances, nice cabinets, etc), which we would be totally fine in. We have looked at a few though that I love that are more like a townhouse. They are still small, but somehow when they are two levels and you don't have to walk through a hall that seems like you are staying in a hotel, it seems more like a home to me. There is one in particular that is really neat and has two big balconies with great views of the harbor, but it would need a little work eventually. What it all comes down to is financing, so we're waiting to find out if the ones we like are FHA approved and our realtor is looking for more with the setup we like for us to view. It's fun to go see all the potential places we could live, but we just want to find a place! This morning Adam said he couldn't get into a deep sleep all night because he was having stressful dreams about home hunting :)

Besides looking at condos, we had a pretty low key weekend. Friday night we went out to dinner. Saturday we looked at condos and went to the Art Walk in Little Italy. Then some friends came over and we went downtown late afternoon to listen to this guy Joe Rathburn play his guitar at this restaurant patio by the Padres stadium. Finally, Sunday I got a mani/pedi for our trip and went to the mall and TJ Maxx.

Today we work, and tomorrow early in the morning, we leave for the Florida Keys!
