Last night here. We are headed back to Charleston tommorrow. I can't say I'm not glad. We are missing our green!
House hunting again today. It is just so overwhelming all the houses we have looked at. We have several that could be good choices but we have not seen one that we say we love and this must be it. Tucson is very spread out and we have been in every direction. Unlike Charleston, we can't find an area that seems to be better or particularly worse than any of the others. So that does not help us to look in a specified area. We have 6 houses in the running at this point. But there are pluses and minuses to all of them. One that we like is in a "green community". All of the houses and businesses are built to green standards. That is very appealing to us but we're not sure about living in such an extreme close environment where your house just about butts up next to the ones on either sides. And then there are major power lines nearby which I thought are not supposed to be "safe" to live near but they seem to be everywhere around here. Another favorite is a Santa Fe style house that is pretty cool but it is in short sale which can be a real pain in the arse. In addition, they took one wall down between bedrooms and added floral carpet and stripped light fixtures, etc. but it could probably be a really neat house after these obstacles are overcome. And so it goes with all of the houses- some possibilities but no clear choices.
Okay, back to Charleston to put our house on the market and then To has to be back here Saturday. (poor Tom at this sped up time line! From what we understand here it is very unusual for Raytheon to move so quickly so they must really want my hubby!)
See you on the East coast...
