House Hunting! Among other things

Hey all!

Sorry I've been neglecting my blog lately. Haven't really had much to talk about, but, now I do, so here I am!

Since I now have a new job at Universal, Jeff and I are now in the process of finding a new home closer to Orlando and today we went and looked at 4 houses, one of them VERY promising and another which is more of a fall back while the other two... well... they looked better in the photo's..

My day started out by waking up at 6:15am. Not a fun time to wake up on a Saturday morning when it's supposed to be your day to sleep in. Was out the door by about 7am and met up with the realtor at the first house at 9. Off the bat, the neighborhood looked somewhat decent.. but as we got to the house, I could already tell that this was an automatic No. It wasn't very well taken care of, it looked dirty, the back yard was less than desirable.. it was a flat out No. We were out the door by 9:10 with our next appointment at 10:15.

So with in that hour, we decided to check out the houses I had the lockbox codes for. This was the second house we stopped at:

The yard could use some work, the neighborhood is pretty decent. We could tell that old people used to live there (smell.. plus the ceramic squirrel that was hanging out by that front window.) It has a fenced in back yard, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms.. neither of the bathrooms I liked.. they were tiny, as well as the bedrooms. Not high on my list, but a fall back house if that.

After that we still had time to look the other house with the lockbox. The one house that I prayed looked awesome IRL as it did in the pictures.

This is a pool home. 3bed 2 bath, and it has the coolest tub in the master bath, EVER! Honestly, Jeff and I were sold as soon as we stepped foot into that house. It was very nice. We're hoping to get this one. As soon as we got home, we called and left a message then received a call back a few minutes later. The woman said nobody else has placed an application down *knocks on wood* which is a great thing in our favor. So she sent us an application and that'll get turned in on Monday.

Pool partay!!!

Even with our minds set on that last house, we still had an appointment to look at a house which still resided tenants. They knew a week in advance that we were coming. I knew as soon as we turned into the neighborhood that it was a no go. The houses looked run down.. way too many cars parked in the street.. I wasn't impressed. So we park and go up to the house and ring the door bell and is greeted by a guy in basically his PJ's. We step into the house, and seriously, the place is a mess. It was dark, dingy.. I felt really bad for the house since in the pictures it looked amazing. Sadly, this wasn't the case. Honestly, if I was showing my house to potential renters, I'd make sure it was so spotless, it'd pass the white glove test! He brought us into the master bedroom which we could hardly see cause it was dark (it was 10:30 in the morning mind you) and his lazy girlfriend was in the bed practically passed out (looked like she was hung over), then showed us the master bath..and man, I was embarrassed for him. They had clothes EVERYWHERE and the sink was a mess..I felt dirty.

So as we were leaving, I asked about the neighborhood and he's like "Oh well.. the reason why we're moving is cause we got robbed." ".......oh, lovely."

Needless to say, I crossed that house off my list pretty darn fast.

I'm seriously considering calling the office on Monday to inform them of how our showing went..

Oiii yeah.. that was my day. Cross your fingers for me for that pool home. I hope we get it!!

Zombie?

I had this creepy dream last night that I was in this house, which just so happened to be a lab where this doctor was trying to find a cure for the zombie virus (sorta like that last man on earth movie w/ Will Smith) only not as cool. Well anyway, we had a test subject, and I injected the subject and the effects went away. We all breathed a sigh of relief, till a few mins later he woke up, zombie like (with new sores on his face) turned his head and bit my arm. I freaked and we all stood there for a few hesitating moments wondering if I was going to turn.. but I didn't. So I treated the wound.. and continued doing what I was doing and soon the wound healed.. and even though I was relieved, I knew something wasn't right. A few hours later I looked down on my arm and noticed new sores.. sort of like leprosy. I again panicked, and I looked to the girl I was hanging out with at the time and said "I don't know what's going on, but I know right now I don't have a craving for brains.." ha..

Either way, I knew that was it and I had to die, so I begged one of my friends to do it.

Then the dream ended.

Yeah... weird..
