Well, Mrs. GotDesign and I went out Sunday afternoon on a whirlwind tour of available proprties. We have two possibilities and we have made an offer on one of them. The last thing I have heard, and I don't want to "jinx" anything, is that our search may be nearing completion. I'll let you know after I've had sufficient celebratory revelling.

The first house is a single-story ranch with 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, an attached 2.5-car garage, a brick-enclosed back patio, and all the space and storage we could want. The second property is a 2-story house, 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths with a detached 2.5-car garage and a fabulously landscaped back yard (including a koi pond with waterfall). The second house is filled with beautiful hardwood bannisters and accenting woodwork -- gorgeous. But we opted to make an offer on the first house considering it has the number of bedrooms for which we are looking.

We'll see what the Lord provides. Pray for us.
