Flo and I started house hunting around April. We drove around in the Jeep, rode our motorcycles in just about every neighborhood in the city. Working from the trailer park where we live now in an ever-widening circle

Every night after work we would ride to a neighborhood and search for the house for sale signs. We called on a lot of houses which were sold, it was getting disappointing finding a house which both of us liked and suited our needs

Most of the houses we looked at were too small for Flo, or lacked the yard space or the garage I wanted. So we would fuss with each other and just kept looking.

We had been riding all over the city looking, taking pictures and calling realtors up to see houses. We were about to give up. All the perfect ones, someone was living in with out any intention of moving.

Flo didn't like this house at first, until she stepped inside and then saw the back yard. I liked it from the start. The house has some kind of charm that attracted me right off. I had no idea how much the house was but I liked it.

The Realitor showed us the house and we looked at another house that same day. It was no contest.

Now came the hard part, the how much part. Well he told me it went on the market for $190,000.00, I liked to pass a brick. I figured it was out of our reach and was ready to look at some more houses. Then he says its been reduced over the last couple of months to $116,950.00. We put a contract on the house that same day, it was accepted that night and we were one step closer to a new home.

We should close on the house 31 August. Yes we are excited. Now all I have to do is live another 30 years to own it…

Looking at the house from the fish pond	Looking at the dinning room from the living room	Left side of the living room, no we don't have any babies
A little paint and the lawn mower will have a new home too!	Entering the back yard from the driveway	Flo's mad, she can see Buddy getting a drink out of the fish pond and eating the fish....
