Home finding trip

We got to Alpharetta on Friday and the first thing we did was to go and see 2 homes that were on our to see list. I do not know where to begin when describing those homes. Both homes were advertised with finished basement if one considers one finished room as finished basement. It took us about 10 homes untill we finally found a house that was clean and had a finished basement. It was so refreshing to go through a hose that did not smell and you could look out the windows. That gave us much more hope that we could find a home in Alpharetta that woul be livable. Most realtors when asked about the state of the messy homes told us that the owners were not willing to do anything to the house unless somebody signed the papers. In my opinion if these people do not take of their home in order to sell or rent it who is to tell me that they would take care of the problems after I signed with them. To make this whole story short .After 3 days of looking we found the home we were lookig for. It is in Alpharetta and about 5-10 minutes awy from Tony's work. We decided to rent for 1 year first so that we can get aquainted with the area and the traffic before we buy a house there. Anyway he house is beautiful with upto 6 bedrooms and 4 1/2 bathrooms. It has a formal living room, dining room and media room. I will add the pics in a slide show above.
While in GA Tony and I clebrated our 8-th anniversary. We had dinner at Ray's Killer Creek Restarant and went to see a movie. It was great to be together and just talk.
We are getting excited and nervous about our move. I cannot believe it is only 5 weeks away. Well we are still working on tiling and painting. The sorting and desposing of will have to wait.
That's it for now .

A special thanks to Mom and Dad for watching the boys and making this trip possible for us. We love you!!!!!!
Also to Codi: You rule thanks for picking up the boys and watching them. We could not have done this without your help. Love ya!
