Ohio is awesome.


As we speak (type), Spencer and I are searching for a home in Athens, Ohio. We spent all afternoon with a realtor yesterday. The prices are similar to Pocatello, but very little new building is happening, so we have been looking at a lot of older homes. The closer to campus they are, the older they are, the more work they need done. We aren't interested in a flip situation because Spencer is going to be so busy. The most we are willing to do is hire out for new carpet and paint. Hopefully we will have better luck today because yesterday we only found one we liked. Actually, I LOVED it. Wouldn't you?


(the yellow in this picture is brighter than in real life. It is spotless because this cute little couple has been there for 30 years -- since it was built! 4 bed, 3 bath)

It will be a tough one to beat! The only thing it lacks is a level driveway, a jetted tub (on my list), and a large fenced in yard. Wish us luck!
