After a longer conversation than expected, Mike and I decided on Five Favorite Houses, of ones I've seen the last week. It was a good conversation and I feel bad that it meant he had to start packing at midnight last night! However, in order to get to see the houses on Sunday and Monday, our realtor needed to know which ones to try to get us into by this morning (as offices close early today and are closed for the weekend).
We also have a list of 6-8 that are potential candidates, but not quite as awesome (in my eyes) as the top 5. There is still a possibility Mike won't like any of them! Some of them can use some love from us as far as paint, wallpaper, and counters. Some of them need some landscaping love or destruction. Some of them need new appliances and roofs. And some of them need a lot of time each fall to rake! Some of them have amazing yards with lots of running room, some of the yards are smaller but the decks and patios are built and ready to dine and entertain. Almost all of them are close to parks and seem to have lots of young kids and families close by. And all of them are places I could call home. Some of them we agreed to disagree...he may see them if he doesn't like our final selection based on photos and what I've told him.
Again, I'm excited to see what Mike thinks of the final contenders. But not until we head to Burnsville to meet Baby Grace and then head to Mankato to spend some 4th of July celebration time with family! Our days of house hunting will begin Sunday at 2pm. Until then...organization of notes on the final houses!
We just dined with Robin for lunch at the Indian buffet on Minnetonka. Yummy. And Q was lovable and giving everyone kisses and kept maneuvering her way out of her high chair and stroller! YES SHE WAS BUCKLED IN! How she can do that and still be a c-section birth....I'll never know.
Mike gets in at 5...Q and I are very excited to see him and fill him in more on our week's adventures!
I do have photos from the week...will try to get them posted when we get to Eagle Lake.
Happy 4th everyone!

Whoa, didn't know you guys were moving/looking at houses in Mn! I'm a little behind on reading apparently!
Good luck with the elimination process, you're in a great position to buy!
