house hunting marathon

wednesday, john and i looked at 13 houses!  then went straight to calvary's midweek service where john preached about miracles (specifically the blind man).

thursday, i went to visit erica, who just had her baby and got to play with judson a little bit.  afterwards, i found the greatest yarn store ever in doylestown.  i could've spent hundreds of $$ in there.  we looked at 5 more houses that afternoon.

friday, i drove on the turnpike alone for the first time to an exit that i had never taken before.  i was nervous but confident and made it just fine.  i went shopping at michael's for some yarn (cheaper than the cool yarn store), went to sonic for lunch, and then scoped out the neighborhood around our most recent favorite house that's on the market.  then i timed the drive from there to the church to make sure that it was reasonable (one of the good things about back roads - you can avoid trafficy main roads).  i, then, made a grocery store run, then talked to jacob and sarah maddox on skype, then went to the friday night bible study at the sparlings early, and we all watched the phillies play-off game and ate dinner.

today, i had lunch with sarah parmer.  both times that we've had lunch together have been the most beautiful days to sit out on the patios of the restaurants.  just gorgeous and refreshing.  john and i drove by 5 or 6 more houses today and were able to eliminate a few of them.  tonight we have dinner with the scardino's (john's coworker).

so where do we stand on houses?  good question...we liked ~6 of them.  not sure what our plan of action is at this point...but we are planning on making a move pretty quickly.
