House Hunting Stinks

Properties that seem great online almost always turn out to be dumps. How do they consistently fool you like that? Good lighting? Fancy descriptive words? Whatever it is, it's depressing. Ryan and I drove down to North Park this afternoon to see a couple of places and to check out the area. We drove away with heavy hearts. While I'm sure there are wonderful houses in that area, apparently none of them are for rent. The houses we saw were run down and dingy. We much prefered the property we saw last night in University Heights. It was a 2 bed 1 bath craftsman house that had an updated pristine interior and a beautiful backyard. It was a bit small but we still loved it and have filled out an application. Unfortunately, it sounds like there are other applicants to compete with so we've decided to just cross our fingers and continue our search. Hopefully, the owners will let us know next week that we can end this torture and move into their lovely home. On the plus side, the Pats are beating the Jags 28 - 17 at the end of the 3rd so far. Whoo hoo!
