Well, the FW and I finally started "The Great House Hunt". We met with our mortgage banker last Friday night to find out how much money we can get. Turns out we can get quite a bit - kinda scary. Our next step was to get a realtor - the bank sent us a list of real estate agents that they work with and we picked one last night. She's great, she called us right away and already has several homes she wants us to look at on Saturday. The mortgage dude is faxing me a good faith estimate (pre-approval letter), so if we see something we really, really like, we're going to go ahead and get it!
We live in Alexandria, just across the river from DC (my commute is only 25 minutes or so - it's 6 miles from our front door to my office), so housing costs are absolutely ridiculous, unless you live in Manhattan or San Francisco. Hard to tell my relatives that yes, we may end up spending 1/2 a million or more on a home. That just looks and sounds obscene, doesn't it?

A house. You are really a grown now. Next thing you know the FW will be pregnant with the FC. Are you moving to Maryland. LOL
