Housing Update

So, as many of you know, I ventured to Baltimore last weekend for a house-hunting trip. We've decided to rent a house until our home in Charlotte sells and until we determine exactly where we want to live in Baltimore.





We spent three full days driving ALL over Baltimore and its surrounding counties. Exhausting. I had NO idea how expensive housing would be up there. Like, double what it is here in Charlotte. Needless to say, it was an exhausting, exasperating trip. Our Realtor was incredibly patient as we increased our budget every day and she had to keep pulling more houses for us to look at.




Friday night we had dinner in Baltimore's Little Italy complete with dessert at Vacarro's. Check out our tasty treats!







Now, these tasty items might explain my two pound weight gain so apparently Newton LIKES sweets. No more desserts. At least this rich. :(


We decided that we like Annapolis as a potential place to live. We've filled out an application for FIVE bedroom, three bath home. I realize this might seem like a mansion but we really need the space. One bedroom for us, one for Newton, one for my office and one for a guest. Plus, there's not a TON of storage in this house (i.e. attic, etc.) so I think we'll use the extra bedroom for storage- maybe put in some temporary shelving... need to have a place to store all that holiday and non-maternity stuff. Ha!


Wish us luck that we'll be approved and get the house!
